The work around I was given was to use filesets within the jar task. Perhaps, something akin to this:
<jar jarfile="${outputdir}/${product}.jar" compress="False" manifest="./resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"> <fileset dir="${outputdir1}/classes" includes="**/*.class" /> <fileset dir="${outputdir2}/classes" includes="**/*.class" /> <fileset dir="${outputdir3}/classes" includes="**/*.class" /> </jar> Regards, Jay -----Original Message----- From: Karen Schaper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 3:45 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: problem updating jar Hi All, I just upgraded to ant1.5.1 and noticed that I cannot update an existing jar file. Is there a workaround for this. I have a shared target that creates many different jar files and then separate targets "update" the jars. I would have a significant amount of work as well as duplicating lots of code if I were to do this all in one jar routine which someone else had suggested. I found this is in the bug list for ant. Does anyone know if the nightly builds fix this? http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10755 Thanks, Karen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------- This email and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged.
