Problem with Ant jars

[apattin]

When using Eclipse, I can create a jar for a package ("com.foo.bar") ;
the package directory structure is replicated within the jar. How can I
do the same using the Ant jar task (running Ant from within Eclipse)?
It seems all the jars ant builds contain just the class files with no
structure.

Thanks!

That is not my experience. Please post your jar task. Good day,

That is not my experience. Please post your jar task. Good day,

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/ant.html
for a sample ant build script. You are not providing the package names
properly to the jar task.

Thanks to all who responded. I found the solution; here it is for
others:

I was having trouble creating the jar from Eclipse, where the project
structure is like this:


my_project/com/my_name/package1
/package2

The .class files are under package1 and package2

What I found out is you have to specify the basedir for the fileset in
the jar task as the parent dir to "com". So:

<project name="Test Build" default="main" basedir="C:\my_project">
<property name="package_root" value="com/my_name/"/>
<property name="package1_dir" value="${package_root}package1/"/>

<jar destfile="${package1_dir}package1.jar" >
<fileset dir="${basedir}"
includes="${package1_dir}**/*.class"></fileset>
</jar>

worked for me.

Thanks!
