That should do the trick so long as I avoid using JDK1.1, right? Wrong. Turns out that approximately half the 6000 files I am working with are considered "outdated" and are included in the ZIP file, even after I've just generated a new base ZIP. In other words, there should have been no difference whatsoever and the diff zip should not even be created, but is instead half the size of the original.
Let me guess - you're running under Windows, right?
There's a peculiarity with windows - it only stores timestamps to even seconds.
Dunno why, but it's bitten me before.
Your fix seems appropriate to me - but I'm just a user. <grin>
Cheers, Bevan.
