How to add a file to existing zip archive into a existing folder

[Ravi Roy]

Hi All,



I have a zip archive, which I want to update with adding a new file to
specific folder in the zip archive.



Example :



I have abc.zip containing the directory structure :

mainfolder\a.jar

mainfolder\subfolder\b.jar





My problem is I want to add a c.properties to mainfolder\subfolder. But I
did not find any such example in the documentation.

Though files can be added, but not specified somewhere if somebody wants to
add to a particular directory in zip archive.



The following example adds c.properties to the root of testfile.zip but for
me it is not possible to add this file to a specific folder in the said zip
archive.

------------------------------------------------------------------

<project name="test" default="main">

<property environment="env" />



<property name="zip.dir" value="C:\testzip" />

<target name="main">

<zip basedir="${zip.dir}" destfile="${zip.dir}\testfile.zip"
update="true">

<include name="c.properties" />

</zip>

</target>

</project>





Thanks for any pointers.

Ravi.

Use <zip> and <zipfileset> tasks.

<zip destfile="${dist}/abc.zip">
<zipfileset dir="dir" prefix="mainfolder/subfolder"/>
</zip>
