Hi, maybe the first line in my zip task was misleading, I created temp.mimetype. If I adjust it to use the file name you suggest it does not make a difference.
<zip destfile="${output.dir}/mimetype.zip" basedir="${output.dir}/tmp" compress="false" includes="mimetype" /> <zip destfile="${output.dir}/temp.zip" basedir="${output.dir}/tmp/" level="9" compress="true" excludes="mimetype" includes="OEBPS/** META-INF/**" /> <!-- Missing option to add -X as parameter --> <zip destfile="${output.dir}/book.epub" update="true" keepcompression="true" encoding="UTF-8" excludes="*.html"> <zipfileset src="${output.dir}/mimetype.zip" /> <zipfileset src="${output.dir}/temp.zip" /> </zip> I read in Bobs description for epub3 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/epub3/) that I need to specify -X for the Ant task to avoid this error. Is this something I can do with the Apache Ant task?
