Hi,

can you post or attach your template.mf file?

Christian

[charles.fg]

I put both manifest and template in a zip file.
When I run the "update manifest" action nothing happens!

[Christian Dupuis]

charles,

the template.mf in the attached zip seems to be missing a line break at the end of the Import-Package header. When you add this in, does this fix the error?

Christian

Hi Christian,

There is more projects in my workspace with the same error.
Even with the line break the error persists.

The strange part is if I build using bundlor via Maven the manifest.mf is generated.
But within eclipse nothing happens!

Hi all,

Whilst my template.mf file was slightly different, I was also having the same issues within Eclipse\STS.

Here is the snippet that was causing the isssue:

...
Import-Template: 
 org.springframework.*;version="[3.0, 3.1)",
Import-Package: 
 javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core;version="[1.1.2,1.2.0)",
 org.eclipse.virgo.web.dm;version="[2.0.0, 3.0.0)",
...

As you can see, there were extra trailing commas for the last item in each list, this appeared to be causing the errors (although the dialog was less than useful).

Hopefully this helps somebody in the future.

Cheers,
Matt
