Well known bug, to be fixed for Ant 1.5.2 and 1.6. Ant BugZilla is littered with bug entries for the <jar update="true"> problem. Use a nightly build of CVS were it's supposed to be 99% fixed. --DD

How do I use the <jar> task to update a jar file when only a few files in it has been updated? For example, when doing daily development, I compile my entire codebase, then jar up a chunk of it for my applet/webstart stuff, then I start my application, all within ant. So for the <jar> task, I only want files that have been updated to be updated to the jar. I don't want the entire jar file to be recreated. I've played with the update and duplicate options in the <jar> task and ran in --verbose mode but can't get the effect I'm looking for.. Seems like no matter what I do, whenever a file is updated, the <jar> task adds an entry for *every* file, not just the updated files. Also, the ant documentation does not state what the possible values are for the "update" tag within the <jar> task. Any help is greatly appreciated.
