Hi, Some of you might have noticed my hack to Untar to set the file modification times to the values retrieved from the tar file. I'd like to do the same to the Expand task. As I don't want to duplicate code I'm going to move the relevant parts out into another class which could easily be a Touch task.
The problem I see is that this task wouldn't do anything in JDK 1.1 as File.setLastModified hasn't been there and write(new byte[0]) doesn't change the modification time of the file you are writing to - at least not on my Linux box. So my question is whether we want to have a touch task that would be a NOP on JDK 1.1 - except when the file that shall be touched doesn't exist. Stefan
