I read the source and I had a patch for accept this parameter. The patch
consiste to :
* modify the Zip.java for declared the variables zipFile and addedDirs to
protected and not private
* modify the Jar.java for add the new property "index"
private boolean doIndex=true; // Create index by default for optimise the
classloader
public void setIndex(boolean i)
{
doIndex=i;
}
* modify the Jar.java for add the generation of the Index.list file. Add at
the end of the finalizeZipOutputStream() method this code :
super.finalizeZipOutputStream(zOut);
// -- Patch by Philippe PRADOS ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
if (doIndex)
{
// Create the index.list file
baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
writer = new PrintWriter(baos);
java.util.Enumeration enum=addedDirs.keys();
writer.println("JarIndex-Version: 1.0");
writer.println();
writer.println(zipFile.getName());
while (enum.hasMoreElements())
{
String dir=(String)enum.nextElement();
dir=dir.substring(0,dir.length()-1);
if ("META-INF".equals(dir)) continue;
writer.println(dir);
}
writer.flush();
bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
super.zipFile(bais, zOut, "META-INF/Index.list",
System.currentTimeMillis());
}
// ------
I think it's to late for include this patch for the 1.4 version, but the
last one...
Thank's
Philippe PRADOS
