Jar task
i am creating a jar file using the below ant script.
<target name="makejar" depends="buildejb">
<jar jarfile="${src}/classes/npacejb.jar" basedir="${src}/classes">
<fileset dir="${src}/classes" includes="**/*.*"/>
</jar>
</target>
The created jar file has all the files twice in it, with the same path. ex:
there are 2 files named as weblogic-ejb-jar.xml with the same path.
i have another problem. there are several files whose *path* is META-INF.
but i am getting the META-INF in small letters. how can i change this
meta-inf to META-INF?

Windows is a tricky beast. It's like WYSINWYG, (What You See Is NOT What You
Get). The directory casing listed by the dir command will not be what is
actually stored. That is why I suggested you use the jar -tvf command which
should show you exactly how the casing appears in the jar. You might want to
also check out WinRAR which is one of the better archiving tools for Windows.
I don't use Windows anymore (unless I'm at home) so I can't verify the
commands for you.

well, one interesting thing i saw in the jar file when i opened it with
winzip is that all the uppercase is stored as lowercase. but when u unzip
it, u will get the folders named with proper uppercase/lowercase.

Try the following on the command line in the ${src}/classes folder:
jar -tvf npacejb.jar
If that shows the path in the jar as meta-inf then use:
<jar jarfile="${src}/classes/npacejb.jar" basedir="${src}/classes">
<metainf dir="${src}/classes/meta-inf"/>
</jar>
If you have a manifest already in the ${src}/classes/meta-inf folder then
you'll tuck an inlined <manifest/> element in the jar task to create it in
the resulting jar.

Also, I am wondering about your project layout. It doesn't seem like a good
idea to have build output (binaries, etc.) under your src folder. Instead
maybe you can consider a separate conventional ${build.dir} folder where ALL
build output (classes, jars, binaries, generated source code, etc.) goes?
That would definitely save you in the near future should you need to sort
things out for, say, a source control system. Consider something like this:
projdir
|
*-build
| |
| *-classes
| |
| *-jars
|
*-src
| |
| *-java
| |
| *-tests
|
*-build.xml

Don't trust winzip - use a real unzip program and actually unzip it.

As for the duplicates, either use the basedir, or use the nested fileset:
not both.
As for META-INF, how do you know that it is lowercased in the JAR?
