Stefan Bodewig b6a3e9df36 License police on documentation files:
(1) Make sure there is a Copyright notice on all visible files.

(2) Make sure all years in which the file has been modified are
listed.

(3) Make sure the format is consistent, i.e. separate consecutive
years with a dash, not a comma.

When Stephane changed starteam.html it has been 2001 in France but
2002 in Australia - does that mean we add 2002 to the Copyright line
or not?  ;-)

<h2><a name="zip">Zip</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Creates a zipfile.</p>
<p>The <i>basedir</i> attribute is the reference directory from where to zip.</p>
<p>Note that file permissions will not be stored in the resulting zipfile.</p>
<p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being zipped. 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>&lt;fileset&gt;</code>
(<code>dir</code> becomes <code>basedir</code>) as well as the nested
<code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;patternset&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<p>Or, you may place within it nested file sets, or references to file sets.
In this case <code>basedir</code> is optional; the implicit file set is <i>only used</i>
if <code>basedir</code> is set. You may use any mixture of the implicit file set
(with <code>basedir</code> set, and optional attributes like <code>includes</code>
and optional subelements like <code>&lt;include&gt;</code>); explicit nested
<code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code> elements so long as at least one fileset total is specified. The ZIP file will
only reflect the relative paths of files <i>within</i> each fileset. The Zip task and its derivatives know a special form of a fileset named zipfileset that has additional attributes (described below). </p>
<p>The <code>update</code> parameter controls what happens if the
ZIP file already exists. When set to <code>yes</code>, the ZIP file is
updated with the files specified. (New files are added; old files are
replaced with the new versions.) When set to <code>no</code> (the
default) the ZIP file is overwritten.</p>
<p>The <code>whenempty</code> parameter controls what happens when no files match.
If <code>skip</code> (the default), the ZIP is not created and a warning is issued.
If <code>fail</code>, the ZIP is not created and the build is halted with an error.
If <code>create</code>, an empty ZIP file (explicitly zero entries) is created,
which should be recognized as such by compliant ZIP manipulation tools.</p>
<p>This task will now use the platform's default character encoding
for filenames - this is consistent with the command line ZIP tools,
but causes problems if you try to open them from within Java and your
filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the encoding attribute
and set it to UTF8 to create zip files that can safely be read by
Java.</p>

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
<h4>fileset</h4>
<p>The zip task supports any number of nested <a
href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html"><code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code></a> elements to specify
the files to be included in the archive.</p>
<h4>zipfileset</h4>
<p>A <code>&lt;zipfileset&gt;</code> has three additional attributes: <i>prefix</i>, <i>fullpath</i>, and <i>src</i>. The
<i>prefix</i> and <i>fullpath</i> attributes modify the location of the files when they are placed
inside the archive. If the <i>prefix</i> attribute is set, all files in the fileset are prefixed
with that path in the archive. If the <i>fullpath</i> attribute is set, the file described by the fileset is placed at that
exact location in the archive. (The <i>fullpath</i> attribute can only be set for filesets that represent a single file. The <i>prefix</i> and <i>fullpath</i> attributes cannot both be set on the same fileset.) The <i>src</i> attribute
may be used in place of the <i>dir</i> attribute to specify a zip file whose
contents will be extracted and included in the archive. As with directories, include and exclude patterns may be used to specify a subset of the zip file
for inclusion in the archive.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;
basedir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot;
/&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory into a file called <code>manual.zip</code>
in the <code>${dist}</code> directory.</p>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;
basedir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot;
update=&quot;true&quot;
/&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory into a file called <code>manual.zip</code>
in the <code>${dist}</code> directory. If <code>manual.zip</code>
doesn't exist, it is created; otherwise it is updated with the
new/changed files.</p>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;
basedir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot;
excludes=&quot;mydocs/**, **/todo.html&quot;
/&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory. Files in the directory <code>mydocs</code>,
or files with the name <code>todo.html</code> are excluded.</p>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;
basedir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot;
includes=&quot;api/**/*.html&quot;
excludes=&quot;**/todo.html&quot;
/&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory. Only html files under the directory <code>api</code>
are zipped, and files with the name <code>todo.html</code> are excluded.</p>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;&gt;
&lt;fileset dir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot;/&gt;
&lt;fileset dir=&quot;.&quot; includes=&quot;ChangeLog.txt&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/zip&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory, and also adds the file <code>ChangeLog.txt</code> in the
current directory. <code>ChangeLog.txt</code> will be added to the top of the ZIP file, just as if
it had been located at <code>htdocs/manual/ChangeLog.txt</code>.</p>
<pre> &lt;zip destfile=&quot;${dist}/manual.zip&quot;&gt;
&lt;zipfileset dir=&quot;htdocs/manual&quot; prefix=&quot;docs/user-guide&quot;/&gt;
&lt;zipfileset dir=&quot;.&quot; includes=&quot;ChangeLog27.txt&quot; fullpath=&quot;docs/ChangeLog.txt&quot;/&gt;
&lt;zipfileset src=&quot;examples.zip&quot; includes=&quot;**/*.html&quot; prefix=&quot;docs/examples&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/zip&gt;</pre>
<p>zips all files in the <code>htdocs/manual</code> directory into the <code>docs/user-guide</code> directory
in the archive, adds the file <code>ChangeLog27.txt</code> in the
current directory as <code>docs/ChangeLog.txt</code>, and includes all the html files in <code>examples.zip</code>
under <code>docs/examples</code>. The archive might end up containing the files:</p>
<pre><code> docs/user-guide/html/index.html
docs/ChangeLog.txt
docs/examples/index.html
</code></pre>
