> Hi

> I'm new to ant and need to have M$ cab file support for a project.
>
> I noticed cab.java is still in the source tree and the cab.class is still
> building, however, the cab .jar is not.
>
> I'm assuming cab support was removed due to M$ EOL their Cabinet SDK and
> cabarc.exe utility cab.java requires.
>
> I'd like to uplift cab file support and convert cabarc.exe utility to M$'s
> MakeCab.exe utility.
>
> I'd like some suggestions about adding cab support to build.xml and how to
> place the uplifted files back into ant's distribution.
