Jar packager - adding META-INF with path munge [message #126677]

Hi,

I was unable to find an answer in the archives for my problem: -
Our company is moving over to Eclipse for our Java IDE and we enjoy its
many features. We maintain a system that has many jars to deploy as EJBs,
services etc and each jar tends to have different META-INF content. I'd
like to tell the Jar packager to add various files to META-INF that don't
necessarily reside in the proj-root/META-INF dir. Is there some XML
attribute I can include in the jardesc to allow these files to gain the
correct path?

Regards,

Michael.

Not sure whether this helps: you can provide your own meta-inf file.

Thanks for your reply Dani, but my issue is that I need to supply a
_different_ META-INF dir for each of the 20 jars that need building and so
I need to be able to specify its location perhaps outside of the project
tree (but preferably inside).

You probably want to use ant for this.

Sigh! I feared as much! We use Ant 1.4 which doesn't properly pick up all
inner classes -- perhaps we need to move on!
