Question

I’ve built this project several times in the past. Suddenly it started doing this:

init:
deps-clean:
Updating property file: /home/adam/code/HeimdallOneClick/build/built-clean.properties
Deleting directory /home/adam/code/HeimdallOneClick/build

/home/adam/code/HeimdallOneClick/nbproject/build-impl.xml:676: Existing manifest /home/adam/code/HeimdallOneClick/build/null2120978844 is invalid
BUILD FAILED (total time: 4 seconds)

I don’t know how to fix this. The manifest is quite long, but here’s the section it’s failing on.

<target depends="init,-do-jar-with-libraries-create-manifest,-do-jar-with-libraries-copy-manifest" if="do.archive+main.class.available" name="-do-jar-with-libraries-set-main">
    <manifest file="${tmp.manifest.file}" mode="update">
        <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main.class}"/>
    </manifest>
</target>

What do I do for troubleshooting? Is there some way to rebuild the manifest?

Found the answer

i went and looked at the /null file.. It was my manifest.mf file…

adam@Adam-Desktop:~/code/HeimdallOneClick/build$ cat ./null1074768958 
Manifest-Version: 1.0
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="true|false"/>

I had put that line in several days ago, before I realized how much was required to gain administrator access in Windows, and I guess it did not pick it up until I committed to the SVN server… Suddenly it started failing out.

Deleted the requestedexecutionlevel information and it worked fine.
