Manifestclasspath

+ +

Description

Converts a Path into a property +whose value is appropriate for a Manifest's +Class-Path attribute.

+ +

This task is often used to work around command line limitations on Windows +when using very long class paths when launching an application. The long class +path normally specified on the command line is replaced by a single (possibly +empty) jar file which an in-manifest Class-Path attribute whose value lists +all the jar and zip files the class path should contain. The files referenced +from this attribute must be found relatively to the jar file itself, usually +in the same directory. The Java VM automically uses all file entries listed +in the Class-Path attributes of a jar to locate/load classes. Note though that +it silently ignores entries for which it cannot find any corresponding file.

+ +

Note that the property value created may be longer than a manifest's maximum +72 characters per line, but will be properly wrapped as per the Jar +specification by the <manifest> element, where the +defined property is re-referenced.

+ +

For this task to work properly the relative path from the file + given in the jarfile attribute to the elements of the + nested classpath must be the same as you expect them to + be when deploying the jar.

+ +

since Apache Ant 1.7

+ +

Parameters

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Attribute	Description	Required
property	the name of the property to set. This property must + not already be set.	Yes
jarfile	+ the filename for the Jar which will contain the manifest that will + use the property this task will set. This file need not exist yet, + but its parent directory must exist. +	Yes
maxParentLevels	+ The maximum number of parent directories one is allowed to traverse + to navigate from the jar file to the path entry. Put differently, the + maximum number of .. which is allowed in the relative path from the + jar file to a given class path entry. Specify 0 to enforce a path + entry to be in the same directory (or one of its sub-directories) + as the jar file itself. Defaults to 2 levels.	No

+ +

Parameters specified as nested elements

classpath

A Path-like element, which can be +defined in-place, or refer to a path defined elsewhere using the +<classpath refid="pathid" /> syntax. +This classpath must not be empty, and is required.

+ +

Examples

+    <manifestclasspath property="jar.classpath"
+                       jarfile="build/acme.jar">
+      <classpath refid="classpath" />
+    </manifestclasspath>
+

Assuming a path of id "classpath" was already defined, convert this + path relatively to the build/ directory that will contain acme.jar, which + can later be created with <jar> with a nested + <manifest> element that lists an + <attribute name="Class-Path" value="${jar.classpath}" />. +
