Specifying a classpath in a jardesc file [message #268639]

I'm using WSSD 5.1 (Eclipse 2.1-based).

I need to add a "Class-Path:" header to my jar file. I can't see anywhere
to do this in the JAR Packager.

Do I need to modify the jardesc file manually? If so, how do I add this
"Class-Path:" header?

Thanks,
Curt

Simply provide your own manifest file on the JAR Manifest Specification
(third) page of the wizard.

Thanks for responding so quickly, Daniel!

But then I wouldn't be able to use the "Create JAR" context option, right?
I was hoping to find an XML tag that I could insert into the jardesc file
that would add this "Class-Path:" header for me.

Why not? Choose to create a .jardesc file. Next time you create it it
will use the same manifest from workspace again.

Ah, I understand. Am I correct in saying that I will have to maintain the
manifest manually after it's modified?

Depends on what's in there. If it's just the Class-Path and the header
then you're fine but if you have sealing and other info which depends on
the code then you have to modify it.
