All <zip>/<jar>/<ear>/<war> tasks using <zipfileset> are affected. Please not that the <webinf>/<lib>/<metainf> elements as well as the webxml and applicationxml attributes use a <zipfileset> internally, so they have problems as well. The effect is that the files coming from these filesets get their "external attributes" set in a way that seems to make them unreadable and unextractable by WinZIP. While Antoine's patch certainly fixes *a* bug in Zip, I'm not sure whether it really fixes *the* bug - no WinZIP to either verify the bug in 1.5.2 or its fix in CVS. Stefan
