Introduction

This is a library of tasks/types to allow arbitrary resources to be, - as transparently as possible, cached to the filesystem for use with - tasks that require file resources, e.g. Ant's core <unzip> and - <javac> tasks among others.

This is a library of tasks/types to allow arbitrary resources to be, as + transparently as possible, cached to the filesystem for use with tasks that + require file resources: for example, many of the tasks that work with archives. + You might need access to the contents of a JAR resource located at a given URL, + by means of the unzip + task. Alternatively, you might simply need access to a particular entry in the JAR as a + zipentry. + Long story short, the fscache Antlib allows you to expose a resource of + arbitrary origin as a filesystem resource, and provides options which can be used or + omitted to control the generation of the cache. In most cases accepting + default options will cause temporary files to be generated on-demand in your system + ${java.io.tmpdir} temp directory, and these files will be marked for deletion + on VM exit. Other possible applications of this functionality include compiling + Java source found e.g. in an archive using the + javac task, or accessing + nested archive resources by caching multiple levels from an outer archive file, + e.g. reading a JAR resource from a WAR or, indirectly, an EAR file. +
