HTML5 Boilerplate Build Script: no manifest.appcache generated!

The HTML5 Boilerplate build script can auto generate your manifest.appcache file but it doesn’t out of the box.

Slightly hidden away in the docs:

To enable the appcache, just uncomment the file.manifest line in the project.properties file. It’ll create a manifest.appcache file and wire it all up.

You’ll find the project.properties file in build/project.

Now just do ant build and your HTML5 manifest file will be created and automatically referenced in your HTML file.
