Why don't you delete the jar file in the build before the jar?
i.e.
<target name="jar" >
<delete file="myjarfile.jar"/>
<jar jarfile="myjarfile.jar" basedir="${build.dir}"/>
</target>

Actually, it doesn't rewrite anything, unless I delete the jar file each
time - painfully, manually. Thus my inquiry as to a better way, which
doesn't seem to exist ... so thanks anyways!
