In the mean time, you can still run the JDK's jar executable using something like:
<condition property="exe"> <os family="windows" /> </condition> <property name="exe" value="" /> <exec executable="${java.home}/../bin/jar${exe}"> ... arguments ... </exec> This should be platform-portable enough to most JDKs (certainly the ones from SUN I know), and accepts the usual command line arguments. --DD -----Original Message----- From: Luis Andrei Cobo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 2:47 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: JAR IMPLEMENTATION??? HI all, I am having a difficult issue regarding the use of JAR task. WE jar and sign some applets and deploy them. When we do this we get all sorts of ZIP Closed Exceptions after the jars are loaded with IllegalStateExceptions-Zip Entry Not Found. This is Java Plugin 1.4.1_01 and ant is running on 1.4.1_01. When we use the jar tool manually on the command line, the jars that are generated and signed work perfectly. But I dont want to resort to running a batch script for this process. We've been trying to track down any potential problem. We've tried with indexing on/off and although indexing off has more successful behaviour its still unpredictable and that is unacceptable. IF anyone has any information about this it would help a great deal. I know the jar implementation is not using the sun jar tools but instead works over the jar/zip api. HELP!!
