Description Kohsuke Kawaguchi 2005-04-11 19:08:20 UTC

Just like the unzip task, the zipgroupfileset should support a nested pattern
set so that users can control which part of the source zip files should be
copied into the destination zip file.

This can be used to avoid having duplicate entries.

Because of having problems with sign artefacts inside merged jar files using the
zipgroupfileset, i created a workaround (repackaging), which simulated the
missing "nested pattern specification" - maybe someone is interested in it:

<tempfile property="templib" destdir="@{destination}"/>
<move tofile="${templib}" file="${libraryname}"/>
<zip file="${libraryname}">
	<zipfileset src="${templib}">
		<exclude name="META-INF/*.SF"/>	
	<!-- EXAMPLE: excludes the existing sign information, which confuse
JavaWebstart -->
	</zipfileset>
</zip>
<delete file="${templib}" quiet="true"/>



put this snipped into a task and use it.

zipgroupfileset should support two separate pattern specs: one to identify jar/zip files and another to filter files within jars/zips (e.g. META-INF/*).
