Please provide better description. What project type did you create? What manifest is not included and where is not included? Thanks for more info. seems to be the same situation as in issue #166895. A standard project has been added as attachment there. Indeed. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 166895 *** |
The automatically generate ant script does not include a custom manifest file if the project uses libraries but does not define a main class. More precisely, it first does include it by executing the -do-jar-with-manifest target, but then overrides this with a new jar without it by executing the -do-jar-with-libraries-without-manifest target. Workaround: Define some main class. Suggested short term solution: Add warning for projects that define ${manifest.file}, use libraries but do not define ${main.class}.
