Yes that was it *oops* need to be more careful before annoying heads
with such trivialities. Thanks!
In case anyone else need something like this here's what I ended up with
<goal name="war:war" prereqs="war:webapp" description="Build a war
file">
<ant:echo>Building WAR ${pom.artifactId}</ant:echo>
<ant:mkdir dir="${maven.war.build.dir}" />
<j:forEach var="lib" items="${pom.artifacts}">
<j:set var="dep" value="${lib.dependency}"/>
<j:if test="${dep.getProperty('manifest.classpath') != null}">
<j:set var="manifestclasspath" value="${lib.name}
${manifestclasspath}" scope="parent"/>
</j:if>
</j:forEach>
<!--
if the Class-Path variable is to be set then it is necessary
to build a new war
as otherwise it will merely add a new Class-Path variable and
not replace the older one
-->
<j:if test="${manifestclasspath == null}">
<j:set var="updatejar" value="true"/>
<echo>updating ${updatejar}</echo>
</j:if>
<ant:jar
destfile="${maven.war.build.dir}/${maven.war.final.name}"
basedir="${maven.war.webapp.dir}"
update="${updatejar}"
index="${maven.war.index}">
<ant:metainf dir="${licenseFile.canonicalFile.parent}">
<ant:include name="${licenseFile.canonicalFile.name}"/>
</ant:metainf>
<ant:manifest>
<ant:attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}" />
<ant:section name="${pom.package}">
<ant:attribute name="Specification-Title"

<ant:attribute name="Specification-Vendor"

</goal>

Stephen,
perhaps it is just a typo in the mail but in the value attribute you put
a 'C' in manifestClasspath whereas all over the place there was a 'c'
(manifestclasspath). could your problem come from that ?
