[josm-dev] Build process and version information

[Stephan]

Hi,

how does the server create the josm-latest.jar? The one on the server 
includes a /REVISION file. The ant-script does also create a revision 
file but that has a different format and is deleted after the values for 
the manifest are extracted.

I wanted to fix the build.xml referencing a svn executable needed on the 
path (already created a ticket some days ago).

My problem is that now information is entered into the manifest but 
version does not show up in JOSM. I tracked it down to a problem of 
getResource() matching the first manifest on the bootclasspath/classpath.

There is a solution to this:

But first I want to know if there is another problem with my local build 
because it differs from the official one.

If someone can confirm the different build process on the server I will 
fix the version lookup problem.
