Description

In order to attach version numbers to all jars in the build, we need to solve the problem of how to build start.jar manifest class paths without completely specifying the exact name of the jar. An idea (from Abe Shinichiro) is as follows:

common-build.xml: Add artifact-version to dest.

+ <get src="${maven-base-url}/${project-path}/${artifact-name}/${artifact-version}/${artifact-name}-${artifact-version}.${artifact-type}" dest="${target}/${artifact-name}-${artifact-version}.${artifact-type}"/>

framework/build.xml: New manifest-cp property setting works fine.

+        <property name="liblocation" location="../lib" />
+        <path id="lib-jars">
+            <fileset dir="${liblocation}" includes="*.jar"/>
+        </path>
+        <pathconvert property="manifest-cp" refid="lib-jars" targetos="unix" pathsep=" ">
+            <map from="${liblocation}" to="../lib"/>
+            <map from="\" to="/"/>
+        </pathconvert>

+        <!-- <property name="manifest-cp" value="${manifest-cp-75}"/> -->

This still needs to be worked on a little because it requires there to be a directory with the jars needed for the classpath; the lib area also may contain non-jar content and it would be good to insure that wasn't an issue.
