I don't think <zip> does, either. And I think the reason the <jar> task
doesn't is because Ant tries to be compatible with JDK 1.1, and that
didn't offer the -u flag for its 'jar' command.
In this case, though, I think the suggestion to use <zip> instead of <jar>
is so you don't have to add (ie., replace) your manifest file later, just
include the file you want in the jar in the first place.
There's a <jlink> task that I thought was supposed to allow you to add
files to an already existing jar-file, but I can't get it to do that for
me.
