Revision history [back]

Currently rosjava requires all .msg/.srv files to be defined externally and included as dependencies in the manifest file. I believe this was done to promote separation of msg packages and the packages that use them. Any packages included in the manifest will prompt java JAR generation for those foreign message types.
