That is a way to do it, but it is inefficient and does not deal with manifest entries (which may or may not matter depending on your needs). Many moons ago, I wrote a java program to do jar merging, where it supports inclusion and exclusion expressions (so you can merge subsets of a jars) and attempts to also merge manifest entry information. The program is efficient in that it does not pre-extract the jar files, but instead walks the jar structure when doing the merge. Never made it into an Ant task. When I do need it, I just use the <java> task to call it. IIRC, at the time (many years ago) there was not much interest in such a facility of merging jars so I never packaged it up as an OSS project. --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
