Thanks for your note, Stefan.  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?

Thanks again for your help,
