Walter, Use a zipfileset as the source in a zip task. You can use includes/excludes to filter the files-to-copy:
<zip destfile="tmp.jar"> <zipfileset src="src.jar"> <exclude name="**/*.class" /> </zipfileset> </zip> <move file="tmp.jar" tofile="src.jar" /> -Justin office 8-383-6725, 212-272-6725; cell 917-861-6042 -----Original Message----- From: RADEMAKERS Tanguy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 5:44 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Remove entru from ZIP file using ANT Importance: Low Hello Walter, Don't think there's a one-step way to do this via the update="true" attribute , but you could do it like this: 1. unzip archive into a temp folder 2. delete the archive 3. delete the file(s) you don't want from the temp folder 4. rezip the contents of the temp folder into a new zip. long winded, but should be fine unless you have some **huge** archives. /t >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 7:40 AM >To: user@ant.apache.org >Subject: Remove entru from ZIP file using ANT > >Hi, > >Is there a possibility in ANT to remove an entry from ZIP >resource?
