Is this really a bug?
Some people say so
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20366
True, although skipping dir timestamps just means that such a source change will not trigger a rebuild of the JAR during an incremental build. That can be expected to be
a much rarer situation than doing a full build when the empty source dir already exists.
Did I sound like "if you think you understand Zip.java better than I
do"? If so, please forgive me, this was in no way intended.
I just meant that you likely have a deeper understanding of Zip - and in particular the newer resource collection framework - than I do. My fix solved the case at hand,
but there is likely a better fix somehow involving the dir entry creation code.
in many if not
most cases you don't really care for the timestamps of the directories
so even the second task shouldn't recreate the archive.
Perhaps, although as far as I know it is relatively uncommon for a dir timestamp to change without the timestamp of any of the contained files to change, so if JARs are
recreated in this situation it would not be a significant annoyance even if you care nothing for directory entry timestamps.
And if you
do, the third and fourth tasks shouldn't do anything.
Right, that is the real bug in my mind.
