[Biojava-l] location of biojava.jar on a linux system

[Alexandre Dionne-Laporte]

The obvious choice then is to redefine the classpath in the manifest
file or have a ant script to create the jar (biojava is in the lib
directory) :

<target name="myjar" >
        <jar jarfile="myJar.jar" index="false" >
            <fileset dir="myClassesDirectory"/>
            <manifest>
                <attribute name="Built-By" value="${env.USER}"/>
                <attribute name="Class-Path" value="lib/biojava.jar"/>
                <attribute name="Main-Class" 		value="myMainClass"/>
                <attribute name="Sealed" value="true"/>
            </manifest>
        </jar>
</target>

hmmmm...
does this help or what ?
