About GenJar
GenJar is a specialized Ant task that builds jar files based on class dependencies rather than simply the contents of a directory.
GenJar was originally created by John W. Kohler (jake at riggshill.com).
Work is underway on GenJar2. GenJar2 will be a functional replacement of GenJar, but build file syntax will change. Some of the features of GenJar2 include:
Syntax consistent with Ant's jar task Replacement of GenJar's <manifest> with Ant's <manifest> Replacement of GenJar's <resource> with with Ant's <zipfileset> BCEL for class dependency checking
The original GenJar branch will be maintained for as long as there is demand.
