Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 12 Generating Eclipse Help > 12.3 Configuring Eclipse Help manifest files > 12.3.3 Configuring the Java manifest file for Eclipse Help
When you package Eclipse Help in a .jar
file, the .jar
file must include a Java manifest,
MANIFEST.MF
. Mif2Go can create this file for you, and does so by
default when UseManifest=Yes
; see §12.3.1 Specifying a Java manifest file for Eclipse Help.
To prevent Mif2Go from creating MANIFEST.MF
when UseManifest=Yes
:
; WriteManifest = Yes (default, always write, even if it exists)
; or No (customized, write only if not found)
When WriteManifest=Yes
,
Mif2Go creates MANIFEST.MF
in the project directory; if this file is already present, Mif2Go overwrites it.
When WriteManifest=No
,
Mif2Go creates MANIFEST.MF
only if this file is not already present in the project directory; Mif2Go does not overwrite an existing MANIFEST.MF
.
This setting allows you to customize MANIFEST.MF
outside of Mif2Go, without losing your customizations during subsequent
conversions.
To specify that your plug-in must run as a singleton:
; UseSingleton = No (default) or Yes (add "; singleton:=true" after
When UseSingleton=Yes
,
Mif2Go adds “; singleton:=true
”
after the value of Bundle-SymbolicName
in MANIFEST.MF
.
