tar with tarfileset

[Yves Willems <yw...@maia-scientific.com>]

Hi all,

 

I want to make a tar file holding just 3 files, but prefixed with a certain
directory name.

I created the following target:

 

<target name="make.tar">

        <tar tarfile="my.tar" basedir="${basedir}">

            <tarfileset dir="${basedir}" prefix="/anyprefix">

                <include name="lfile1"/>

                <include name="file2"/>

                <include name="file3"/>

            </tarfileset>

        </tar>

</target>

 

However when I run this thing it adds recursively ALL files under the
basedir directory to my tar file.

What am I doing wrong?

 

(I'm running 1.6.5)

I would remove the basedir from the tar statement, since the tarfileset
should select the files you want:

       <tar tarfile="my.tar" >
           <tarfileset dir="${basedir}" prefix="/anyprefix">
               <include name="lfile1"/>
               <include name="file2"/>
               <include name="file3"/>
           </tarfileset>
       </tar>
