Can I select classes for one particular task from ant-contrib jar and add
those to ant.jar to be able to use that particular task. Aim is not  having
to add an additional jar to the IDE classpath.I need to just use the
try/catch task from ant-contrib.

This might be a silly idea. But any thoughts abt it??

yeah, thanks, I got this working:

		<!-- Create the JAR file -->
		<jar destfile="${temp.lib}\${project.jarFile}"
		     basedir="${temp.build}">
		    <manifest>
		    	<attribute name="Built-By" value="${company.name}"/>
		    	<attribute name="Version" value="${FILE_TSTAMP}"/>
		    </manifest>
		</jar>

Use the manifest task to create your manifest on the fly.

You will need to create an attribute that will contain the timstamp, for 
instance you can call this attribute "TimeStamp".

To get this information from a running java application you would need 
to use the Manifest class returned from the JarFile class. This is all 
part of the java.util.jar package.
