Using the JDK, you can create a jar file without a manifest:

jar cvfM myjar *.class

However, I have not been able to figure out how to create a jar using ANT without a manifest. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gregg

manifest is not required for jar ant task.

manifest

the manifest file to use. This can be either the location of a manifest, or the name of a jar added through a fileset. If its the name of an added jar, the task expects the manifest to be in the jar at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Copied from ant menual.

Ant jar task will create a default one for you.

Use nested manifest element to define your own customized menifest.
