So what you are saying is that you believe this is a shortcoming of the java.util.zip JDK code, not Ant itself, correct? At least I'm not the first person to see this. Could I perhaps call an external zip program usiing <execon> with a nested fileset? If that won't work, what about writing a new directive and calling the external zip program? Are their public ant methods which allow for the standard include and exclude attributes to be processed to build a file list, or could I use fileset processing here somehow?
