Hi folks. This is my first attempt to post to this forum. I've made a change to the build.xml file which (approximately) reproduces your manifest as a genuine manifest inside the distributable jar.
Our software uses the Package interface to programmatically verify the version being used is adequate, and without an accurate MANIFEST.MF in the jar I can't do this. Please adopt these changes into your official source in future releases.
The only change is near the "<jar" tag, so I'll only include the old part and the part that I fixed. Sorry for the length of text, but that's what you have to do if you want a manifest with sections in it. The first attribute set, outside the <section> tags are the most important for my needs.
Thanks, and here's my submission:
<!-- the old part
<jar jarfile="${build.dir}/${name}.jar"
basedir="${build.dest}"
excludes="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
manifest="${build.dest}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"/>
-->
<!-- the new part -->
<property name="version" value="1.0"/>
<property name="vendor" value="jdom.org"/>
<jar jarfile="${build.dir}/${name}.jar">
