Not Adding Files
I am trying to get the <zip> task to add some files to an existing .jar file. I cannot get it to work with an existing file, but it works just fine when creating a new archive file. Unfortunately, that is not what I want.
I have an existing file in zip format to which I try to add other archives using the following XML:
<target name="test" depends="setup">
<zip destfile="${output}/my.jar" update="yes">
<zipgroupfileset dir="${basedir}/lib/" includes="abc.jar"/>
</zip>
</target>
This does not work. ANT exits cleanly with no error messages but the existing archive is not modified. If I change the above XML to this, it works fine (notice the name change of the destfile:
<target name="test" depends="setup">
<zip destfile="${output}/my2.jar" update="yes">
<zipgroupfileset dir="${basedir}/lib/" includes="abc.jar"/>
</zip>
</target>
However, this is not what I want. According to the ANT documentation I should be able to do what I am trying, but I can't get it to work.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks.

The good news is, it is (supposed to be) fixed in CVS now.

This is a well known bug
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10755
You need to download the latest nightly build of ant , for instance from
this URL http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/nightly/2003-02-04/
