Philippe: I have the similar issue...the way I chose to handle it (may not be the best way but it's the easiest for me :-) is to rebuild the ears, versus unpacking making changes and repacking- less hassle and the time it takes to rebuild it is minimal. Also, this way I don't have to worry about forgetting something. The build [execution] flow is compile all classes, jar them up, create wars then create ears. We have one "main" build file that calls others to build their piece of the puzzle. We have also enabled the ability to build one "component" at a time (jar, war, ear). You could accomplish this by using the target depends attribute or by using the <ant>, <antcall> tasks or by using a number of 3rd party/external tasks...it's really up to your imagination/creativity. This list will also be an invaluable asset...tons of great ideas and great people.

I've an EAR file which contains a WAR file. This WAR file contains some JAR files as librairies. I've to update some JAR files, and consequently both the WAR and the EAR files. How to do each of these updates using Ant? Is it possible to do it without having to explode both the EAR and the WAR files into a directories structure, then to make changes, then to recreate both the WAR and the EAR files? Thank you in advance.
