zipfileset dir vs src
I am trying to add a single file to a jar.
This works:
<zipfileset dir="${src}" prefix="WEB-INF" includes="web.xml" />
This gives an error about not being able to access the file:
<zipfileset src="${src}/web.xml" prefix="WEB-INF" />
Am I doing something wrong with the src?

Thanks. I had misinterpreted it. That clears it up!

zipfileset is different from a plain fileset in two ways. (1) You can
specify prefix/fullpath attributes to create a different structure
than is on your disk and (2) you can use the src attribute to read
from a ZIP file instead of a directory tree.
In your case you only need (1) so there is no reason to use src at
all. Just build your zipfilesets using dir and everything should be
fine.

Maybe I'm doing this all backwards...
I have a <jar> task and there are a bunch of <zipfileset>'s inside
that point to the directories and files that get included in the jar.

Where is the file? Inside a ZIP/JAR/WAR archive or in a plain
directory on your disk? You use src for the former and dir in the
directory case.

So it is in a directory.

web.xml certainly is no valid ZIP archive, so this can't work.
Why do you want to use src at all?
