removing file from jar

Hi,

is there a way to remove a file from an existing jar file? Other than using 
WinZip ;-)


Bye

Jochen

Hi Antoine,

thanks this worked for me. If you want to keep the MANIFEST you have to use 
the zip task.

<zip destfile="new.jar">
       <zipfileset src="old.jar">
                 <exclude name="do/not/include/this/class"/>
       </zipfileset>
</zip>
<move file="old.jar" tofile="new.jar"/>

Bye

Jochen

Hello Jochen,

with ant you can do something like

<jar destfile="new.jar">
      <zipfileset src="old.jar">
                <exclude name="do/not/include/this/class"/>
      </zipfileset>
</jar>
<move file="old.jar" tofile="new.jar"/>

Cheers,

Antoine
