If you are referring to bug 3074 (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3074), then this is *not* what I have provided. As you have said, there is an undocumented way to extract archives, given a directory. The feature I have provided with patternsets is to let the user specify the files that are to be 'extracted' or 'listed' *from* the archive - not the archive files to be selected for unarchival. This feature actually extends on what tar and jar already provide, albeit in a crude way (ie, with no real pattern matching): tar xvf foo.tar bar.java would extract bar.java, if present, from foo.tar Hope this clears it up.
