------- Additional Comments From bodewig@apache.org  2004-05-25 11:43 -------
The timestamp format of any zip archive has a granularity of two seconds, so you
can't store the exact timestamp anyway - this has nothing to do with either Ant
or Java.

In Ant we had to decide whether we want to round up (the "strange processing") or
down.  For most common use-cases, rounding up is the correct choice since Ant would
otherwise consider an archive out-of-date everytime - the contents of the archive
would be up to two seconds older than the files that have been used to create
the archive.  This choice is documented in the task's manual.

With Ant 1.6.2 there will be a roundup attribute that lets you explicitly request
rounding down.
