Subject: Help: create an executable JAR file including 3rd party JAR files

Dear All:

My directory structure is the following:
libs/externa/  containing a.jar, b.jar
libs/installed/  the generated runnable JAR file, "sample.jar", will be here

src/ containing Java source files
build/ containing Java class files
The main class is x.y.z.MyMain

I have had a really hard time to create a runnable JAR file using
Ant(version 1.6.5). The JAR file, libs/installed/sample.jar, can be
generated. However, when I run it, the classes inside a.jar or b.jar are not
available and causes NullPointerException. When I un-tar sample.jar,
everything is there. I think manifest classpath is causing the problem. 

Following is my brief build.xml:

	<filelist id="external.jars" dir="libs/external">
		<file name="a.jar" />
		<file name="b.jar" />
	</filelist>
	<path id="project.classpath">
		<pathelement location="./build" />
		<filelist refid="external.jars"/>
	</path>

	<target name="build" depends="init">
		<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="${build.dir}"
source="${source}" target="${target}">
			<src path="src" />
			<classpath refid="project.classpath" />
		</javac>
	</target>

	<target name="jar" depends="clean, build">
		<pathconvert property="manifest.classpath" pathsep=" ">
			<mapper>
				<chainedmapper>
					
					<flattenmapper />

					
					<globmapper from="*" to="libs/external/*" />
				</chainedmapper>
			</mapper>
			<path>
				<filelist refid="external.jars"/>
			</path>
		</pathconvert>

		<jar destfile="libs/installed/sample.jar" basedir="./build" update="true">
			<manifest>
				<attribute name="Main-Class" value="x.y.z.MyMain" />
				<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${manifest.classpath}"/>
			</manifest>
			<fileset dir="${externals.dir}"/>
		</jar>
	</target>

Thank you very much.
