Thank you for this super-fast answer. So <unzip> still has its importance.
Concerning the encoding, I see that <zipfileset> can set it. So it does not seem an issue here. I am just being curious here... would it be hard to allow all file based resource collection in <zipfileset> (several resources)? I always thought that limiting <zipfileset> to one zip file was quite restrictive. Thanks again, Patrick Martin.
