<project name="blogmark" default="createxpi">
       <property name="VERSION" value="1.3-rc1"/>
       <property name="DESCRIPTION" value="New context-menu item to add
                                           the current page in your Blogmarks"/>
       XPI file is created after "chrome/blogmark.jar"               is created, which is then stuffed into "blogmark.xpi"
       <target name="createxpi" depends="createjar" 
               description="Assemble the final build blogmark.xpi">
               <zip destfile="blogmark-${VERSION}.xpi">
                        <zipfileset dir="." includes="chrome/blogmark.jar" />

                </zip>
