<h2><a name="jar">Jar</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Jars a set of files.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <i>basedir</i> attribute is the reference directory from where to jar.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that file permissions will not be stored in the resulting jarfile.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being jarred. This can be
|
||
|
|
done with the <i>includes</i>, <i>includesfile</i>, <i>excludes</i>, <i>excludesfile</i> and <i>defaultexcludes</i>
|
||
|
|
attributes. With the <i>includes</i> or <i>includesfile</i> attribute you specify the files you want to
|
||
|
|
have included by using patterns. The <i>exclude</i> or <i>excludesfile</i> attribute is used to specify
|
||
|
|
the files you want to have excluded. This is also done with patterns. And
|
||
|
|
finally with the <i>defaultexcludes</i> attribute, you can specify whether you
|
||
|
|
want to use default exclusions or not. See the section on <a
|
||
|
|
href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on how the
|
||
|
|
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This task forms an implicit <a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and
|
||
|
|
supports all attributes of <code><fileset></code>
|
||
|
|
(<code>dir</code> becomes <code>basedir</code>) as well as the nested
|
||
|
|
<code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code> and
|
||
|
|
<code><patternset></code> elements.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also use nested file sets for more flexibility, and specify
|
||
|
|
multiple ones to merge together different trees of files into one JAR.
|
||
|
|
The extended fileset attributes from the zip task are also available
|
||
|
|
in the jar task.
|
||
|
|
See the <a href="zip.html">Zip</a> task for more details and examples.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the manifest is omitted, a simple one will be supplied by Ant.
|
||
|
|
You should not include <samp>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</samp> in your set of files.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>whenempty</code> parameter controls what happens when no files match.
|
||
|
|
If <code>create</code> (the default), the JAR is created anyway with only a manifest.
|
||
|
|
If <code>skip</code>, the JAR is not created and a warning is issued.
|
||
|
|
If <code>fail</code>, the JAR is not created and the build is halted with an error.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(The Jar task is a shortcut for specifying the manifest file of a JAR file.
|
||
|
|
The same thing can be accomplished by using the <i>fullpath</i>
|
||
|
|
attribute of a zipfileset in a Zip task. The one difference is that if the
|
||
|
|
<i>manifest</i> attribute is not specified, the Jar task will
|
||
|
|
include an empty one for you.)</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>jars all files in the <code>${build}/classes</code> directory into a file
|
||
|
|
called <code>app.jar</code> in the <code>${dist}/lib</code> directory. Only
|
||
|
|
files under the directory <code>mypackage/test</code> are used, and files with
|
||
|
|
the name <code>Test.class</code> are excluded.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre> <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/app.jar">
|
||
|
|
<fileset dir="${build}/classes"
|

|
||
|
|
<fileset dir="${src}/resources"/>
|
||
|
|
</jar></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>jars all files in the <code>${build}/classes</code> directory and also
|

|
|
in the <code>${src}/resources</code> directory together into a file

Files with the name <code>Test.class</code> are excluded.

|
If there are files such as <code>${build}/classes/mypackage/MyClass.class</code>
|

|
|
and <code>${src}/resources/mypackage/image.gif</code>, they will appear
|
||
|
|
in the same directory in the JAR (and thus be considered in the same package
|
||
|
|
by Java).</p>
