I'm back on the trail of being able to update jar files, zip files etc. I believe I have a workable solution, and I hope to actually finish it in the next couple of hours.
Two questions: o Firstly, when I've finished it, should I just post a [PATCH] message here? Does that mean that a committer is likely to take a look at it, maybe even (gasp!) test it, and then commit it if they think it's okay? o Secondly, I need to create a temporary file to rename the original file to. I *could* use just File.exists(), which is JDK1.1-safe, but that could run into problems if lots of things were doing this at the same time. With 1.2, I could use File.createNewFile, which gives more atomicity, but won't compile under 1.1. The installation guide for Ant says that currently it works with 1.1 but a future version will require 1.2 - suggestions? Jon
