How to include class banners in a jar in Ant

Question

I am developing a desktop application using swingx, spring and using ant to create them. This is my first project in ant. How to add path clusters to jar executable with ant? I have a swingx, spring jar in my classpath. This is my goal for jar:

<target name="jar"> <mkdir dir="build/jar" /> <jar destfile="build/jar/MainClass.jar" basedir="build/classes"> <manifest> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="MainClass" /> </manifest> </jar> </target> 

Edit:

 <project name="Number"> <description> description </description> <property name="lib" value="lib" /> <property name="src" value="src" /> <property name="build" value="build" /> <property name="classes" value="classes" /> <property name="jar" value="jar"/> <target name="clean"> <delete dir="${build}" /> </target> <path id="classpath"> <fileset dir="${lib}" includes="**/*.jar" /> </path> <target name="compile"> <mkdir dir="${build}/${classes}" /> <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}/${classes}" classpathref="classpath" /> </target> <target name="jar" depends="clean, compile"> <mkdir dir="${build}/${jar}" /> <jar destfile="build/jar/Number.jar" basedir="${build}/${classes}"> <manifest> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="MainClass" /> </manifest> <fileset file="test.txt"> </fileset> </jar> </target> <target name="run"> <java jar="${build}/${jar}/MainClass.jar" fork="true" /> </target> </project> 

Answer 1

You can add them with the following code:

 <target name="compile"> <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/> <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}"> <classpath> <fileset dir="${lib}"> <include name="**/*.jar" /> </fileset> </classpath> </javac> </target> <target name="jar" depends="compile"> <mkdir dir="${jar.dir}"/> <jar destfile="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}"> <manifest> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main-class}"/> </manifest> <zipgroupfileset dir="${lib}" includes="**/*.jar"/> </jar> </target> 

This will include all * .jar files that are in the $ {lib} folder.

But this code should be in ant compilation . Because before you create the jar package, you need to compile it. And so you need swingx, spring jars.
