ZipTask should support an option to allow the task to define the last modified
date for content stored in the zip, jar, or war.

Key: IVY-1095
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1095
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Ant
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Mark Farnsworth
Fix For: trunk
Currently with ANT Tasks it is not possible to fully control the way Zip, Jar,
Ear, or War files are produced. The issue is that the default behavior of the
task includes the last modified date information from the file system when in
creates an archive. The result is that with the exact same source code the
archive produced from any given build will vary based on where and when the
build was run. In an environment like HUDSON where you wish to build on
different servers, from different branches, and at different times this is
problematic since the MD5 hash value of the artifact the build produces will
not reflect the content of the code but rather reflect a combination of the
content of the code and the current time of the server where the build was run.
ANT should support an option for the task to define the last modified date of
the archive. If support for this option is added to the Zip task then it will
be automatically available in tasks that extend it.
The patch file attached to this issue provides an implementation of the last
modified attribute and can be applied to SVN revision 784603 of Zip.java.
