specify an external jar in build.xml to be added to the resulted jar after compiling

Question

I'm trying to modify the build.xml file in order to specify an external jar to be added to the final compiled jar .

Here is my build.xml file

  <project name="cmmdcservice" default="all">
  <property name="kf.dir" location="E:\knopflerfish_osgi_3.4.0"/>
  <property name="framework.jar"
   location="${kf.dir}/osgi/framework.jar"/>

  <target name="all" depends="init,compile,jar"/>

  <target name="init">
  <mkdir dir="out/classes"/>
  </target>

  <target name="compile">
  <javac destdir = "out/classes"
  debug = "on"
  srcdir = "src"
  includeantruntime="false">
  <classpath>
    <pathelement location="${framework.jar}"/>
  </classpath>
  </javac>
  </target>

  <target name="jar">
  <jar basedir = "out/classes"
  jarfile = "out/${ant.project.name}.jar"
  compress = "true"
  includes = "**/*"
  manifest = "manifest.mf"/>
  </target>

  <target name="clean">
  <delete dir = "out"/>
  </target>
  </project>

I guess somehow in the target name="jar" section I need to refer to my external jar, but don't actually know how .. any ideas ?

You need to add a post-jar section. Here is an example:

<target name="-post-jar">
  <jar update="true" destfile="${dist.jar}">
    <!-- Path to your jar. -->
    <zipfileset src="/home/user/javalibs/myjar.jar"/>
 </jar>
</target>
