I believe it is smart enough :)

Thanks Scott
So I run the tar target each time regardless of whether any files have changed
or not. Is the Tar task smart enough to detect that if there were no changes,
there's nothing to do? Apparently it is.
C:\MyCVS\src\>ant tar
Buildfile: build.xml
tar:
[tar] Nothing to do: C:\MyCVS\src\dist\ShellScripts.tar is up to date.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

It should just over-write it for you automatically...
Here is an example of what I did:
<project>
<tar destfile="DIST/ShellScripts.tar" basedir="shell"
excludes="**/cvs/**"/>
</project>
# echo "hello" > shell/foo.txt
# ant
Buildfile: build.xml
[tar] Building tar:
/home/sfloess/development/test/ant3/DIST/ShellScripts.tar
# tar tvf DIST/ShellScripts.tar
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 6 2009-10-15 13:37:50 foo.txt
# mv shell/foo.txt shell/alpha.txt
# ant
Buildfile: build.xml
[tar] Building tar:
/home/sfloess/development/test/ant3/DIST/ShellScripts.tar
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
# tar tvf DIST/ShellScripts.tar
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 6 2009-10-15 13:37:50 alpha.txt
Note the first run the tar file had foo.txt in it...
Second run it correctly contained alpha.txt :)

Hello Everyone,
How do I get the tar task to overwrite its previously created tar file? Please
see my current target below. I don't want to delete my dist folder each time
and I don't see any options in the help section to overwrite the previous
version of ShellScripts.tar.
<target name="tar" >
<tar destfile="${dist}/ShellScripts.tar"
basedir="shell"
excludes="**/cvs/**"
/>
</target>
Thanks
Rez
