Hi,
I have read everything about zip task but find no way to create
password protected zip archive. Is there possible to do so with zip
task?
1. no, not yet. You are as usual free to add this feature, the tests and
the documentation. I fear this would be hard to test, as you would need
to test against all the main zip implementations. Furthermore, unless
you use a built in Java Cryptography Extensions crypto engine, Ant would
have to play more with us export regulations, which scares people.
2. I seem to recall that the standard zip encryption is pretty weak.
Better to use something like BouncyCastle and encrypt the files rigorously
