http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19523 zip/unzip should have the capability to use a mapper ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-05-02 01:07 ------- Simon, Let me explain. The only reason I marked your request as a duplicate of mine (and not the other way around, as would have been natural) is because I have expanded on the original by adding a request for zip to honor selectors and I was afraid that this would get lost. Sorry, I know that this procedure was less than polite. In addition, I have provided an implementation of both features, so I am hoping that this way there is more of a chance that our requests will get into the codebase. If you wan't to try out my code, here is what you have to do: 1. Get the source. 2. Copy the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Zip to a package of your own. 3. Fix the baseclass reference by importing it. 4. Replace the method addResources with the one I have supplied. 5. Add the rest of the code I have supplied to the class. 6. Compile it and place it in a jar, say ext.jar 7. In your build file add <taskdef name="zipx" classname="your.package.Zip" classpath="ext.jar"/> 8. Use <zipx ...> instead of <zip...>. You can now use this with a mapper as in your example. I had to use this technique instead of extending the original Zip task because the key method (addResources) is final. On second examination your request may require a little more work, because the nested filesets would have to allow mapper. My version is simpler, the question is would that satisfy you? In my version there can be only one mapper per zip being built, in your version one could use several filesets, each with its own mapper, so it is more general. However, in practice, allowing only the single mapper, the same result can be achieved by using more than one zip task and spcifying update="yes" on all but the first. This of course is less elegant than having multiple mappers.
