http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29085 Timestamps in jar-Manifest Summary: Timestamps in jar-Manifest Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, a jar-file is updated if one of the manifest entries changes. If an entry contains the build-time, I don't want the jar to be rewritten every time i build the project. The build-time entry should just be updated if anything else in the jar changed. I propose to introduce a new flag (named 'forceupdate' or similar) for a manifest attribute. That flag tells wether the entry must be compared with the old state or if a possible change should be ignored. <manifest> <attribute name="Build-Stamp" value="${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}" forceupdate="false"/> </manifest> Implementation: A logical and simple solution is to change the Manifest.equals method to ignore the selected entries. However, i do not know if this affects other tasks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
