Override old version of zip file with new.

["Praveen.C" <pr...@elixirtech.com>]

Hi all,
When I zip files in ant, It doesn't override the old
version of the zip file(same name,location which 
is created before.)

Any solutions ??

Thanks and Regards,

Probably because it thinks the old one is up to date. Ant will
overwrite an existing archive only if one of the files to add is newer
than the archive itself.

Find out, why it cannot find any source files that are newer than the
archive (probably a bug in your build file) - if you want to recreate
an archive even though it is newer than all source files, simply
delete the old one first.
