Creating an executable jar file with ant which includes the build.xml file?

Executable jar" is not what you think it is. It allows you pack all your classes together (you can add source to it as well though I see little point in that) and declare a main class using Main-Class attribute in the jar manifest. Details are here You can then launch that jar using java -jar my.

Jar command line which would invoke main() method of the class you've specified. You can also specify classpath via Class-Path attribute in the manifest file that can point to other jars needed by your application. That DOES NOT MEAN those jars are archived within your jar; in fact if you were to do that, JVM won't be able to load classes from those jars unless you were to take special precautions and write a custom classloader.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
