--- Comment #5 from Mark Farnsworth <[email protected]> 2009-06-17 16:27:05 PST --- Touch will work with zip task but it is not as clean a way of controlling the content of the archive. Also the jar, war, and ear tasks all share the problem and in those tasks their is code that pulls the system current time as it creates manifest. My patch to zip is clean in that it fixes the problem for all types of archives and does not involve changing the time stamps. I am not 100% sure about the effect touch technique would have on javac but my gut tells me that it would wreak havic and cause problems the next time the build runs since the compiler would have trouble deciding if it should re-compile the .class files from the .java files. (actually I am fairly sure that would happen). The result would be slow builds and would defeat much of the value of ANT. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
