How to extract files from jar and add to jar with jar task

["Dijk, G.J. van (Gerard)" <Ge...@akzonobel.com>]

Hello Ant users,
 
The zip task supports the <zipfileset> element.
With the <zipfileset> attribute 'src' one can extract the contents of a zip
file and include it in a zip archive.
I would like to do the analogous with jar, i.e. extract the contents of a
jar file and include it in a jar archive.
The ant manual chapter 'jar' states:
 
"The extended fileset attributes from the zip task are also available in the
jar task."
 
I have tried a number of variations but none succeeded. 
Any suggestions?
 
 
With kind regards

It should work exactly the same way as with zip.  JARs are ZIPs.

<jar jarfile="...">
  <zipfileset src="other.jar" />
</jar>
