I've read the documentation, and tried to fetched the FAQ
(with no luck) and can't find the answer. Since I'm new to the list,
forgive me if this has been hashed to death already.
You're welcome to just point me to the right place to look...
1. The jar task doesn't have the '0' option
that 'jar' has, i.e.
jar cvf0 x.jar *.class
creates a jar file "store only; use no ZIP compression."
When I use the Ant jar task, it creates the
jar with the right content, but it's smaller.
Is it compressed? If so, how can I suppress
compression? My understanding is that JDK1.1.x
based apps don't like compressed jar files.
2. While it's not an issue, I wonder if there
is a simple way to suppress the "copying of
support files" that the javac task does.
I suppose enough 'excludes' would do it,
but I'm looking for something simplier...
3. Hey, while I'm at it... Is there a property
that has the CURRENT time? Not the stuff set
with "tstamp" but a continous running value?
When we build, each time we start and end
a step we emit the time. Then as the build
progresses, we have a web page that shows
the progress of the build, including the
elapsed time for each step, and the total
elapsed time...
