Hello,
In my build file, javac and jar task are called in order to create a jar for my
project.
First time these tasks were called, the source files got compiled and a jar was
created just fine. Without changing anything in the source files, I ran again
the tasks.
Nothing happened in javac task, as expected, but the jar task changed the time
stamp of the jar. The question is: why? A check I did rais that the Ant change
the time stamp of the manifest file, even without changing its content. For
some reasons, it is very important to me that the time stamp of the jar file
wouldn't be changed unless a source file changed.
This is how the jar task is written in my build file:
<target name="jar_cli" depends="compile_cli">
<jar destfile="${jars}/cli.jar"
basedir="${cli_output}"
includes="project/manager/tools/CLI/**"
update="true"
/>
</target>
Can someone explain me please how can I avoid such situation?
Thanks,
Barak.
