I've had problems with updating JAR files in the past when the "updated" file is in fact older than the one already in the archive (and "older" may mean "newer within 2 seconds" on Windoze). So you may want to <touch> it first. Or as Jan suggested, do an <unear>, then <copy overwrite="true"> for your application.xml, then <ear> it back up again.

So this does look fishy. Here is my (current) ant code: <jar jarfile="${sonora.ear.destination}" basedir="./lib" includes="*.jar" update="true" > <metainf casesensitive="true" file="./src/META-INF/application.xml"> </metainf> </jar> This updates all the jars, as expected, but not the application.xml. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > <unear> > -- modify --: <filterchain>, <replaceregexp>, > <mapper>, xmltask [1] > <ear> > > > Jan > > [1] http://ant.apache.org/external.html#xmltask > > > >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > >Von: Charl Gerber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Gesendet: Freitag, 7.
