Okay.. after I put the example the other day, I realised it is so worse to be clicking on export and choosing the manifest file all the time. So For a quick start people can use this build.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="BundleName" default="deploy" basedir="."> <property name="version" value="1.0.0" /> <property name="src" location="src" /> <property name="build" location="build" /> <property name="deployloc" location="/home/to/equinox/bundles" /> <property name="dist" location="dist" /> <property name="buildfilename" value="${ant.project.name}-${version}.jar"/> <path id="classpath.buildtime"> <pathelement location="/home/to/equinox/equinox.jar" /> <pathelement location="/home/to/dependency.jar" /> </path> <target name="init" depends="clean"> <tstamp /> <mkdir dir="${build}" /> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source "> <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" classpathref="classpath.buildtime" /> </target> <target name="dist" depends="compile" description="generate the distribution"> <mkdir dir="${dist}"/> <jar jarfile="${dist}/${ant.project.name}-${version}.jar" basedir="${build}" manifest="META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"> <manifest> <attribute name="Bundle-Name" value="${ant.project.name}"/> <attribute name="Bundle-Version" value="${version}"/> </manifest> </jar> </target> <target name="deploy" depends="dist"> <copy file="${dist}/${buildfilename}" todir="${deployloc}" overwrite="true"/> </target> <target name="clean" description="clean up"> <delete dir="${build}" /> <delete dir="${dist}" /> </target> </project>Feel free to add to it, and contribute your additions in comments.
