I got the ant task working, I was just missing the doLast (<<) operator,
something which continues to confuse me when creating my own tasks
(particularly as many built in tasks like jar, copy etc don't require the
doLast operator).
task updateJarWithIndex(dependsOn: generateJarIndex) << {
ant.jar(update: "true", destfile:
"${project(':gui').libsDir}/uwm-gui.jar") {
fileset(dir: "$projectDir", includes: 'META-INF/**')
}
}
However, my questions still stands, can you update a JAR using the Gradle
DSL, or is using the Ant task the only way?
