Jar error

["Lopez, William" <wi...@eds.com>]

Hello list:

I'm attempting to jar a group of class files after compiling them...my task
is defined as so:

<jar destfile="${tempBOJar}" update="true" index="true">
  <fileset dir="${bo.build.dir}\Reference" includes="**\*.class" /> 
</jar>

..the following error is returned:
BUILD FAILED
file:E:/CM/Projects/NEW_BUILD_PROCESS/EDS_Build/Integration/jm_depend.xml:30
9: Unable to rename old file to temporary file
	at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Zip.execute(Zip.java:388)

...I'm guessing that the previous task (compile) still has a "hold" of the
jar file (it is used in the classpath element of the compile task). Any tips
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tip one would be "don't do that" - i.e. modify the jar you used
before.  Tip two would be to "fork" the compile task.

Probably true but it is unusual to have a jar in the compile classpath for 
which you are compiling the classes. Try leaving the jar out of the compile 
classpath altogether.
