How to use ant unzip to include nested zip file?


I have an ear file which includes war files and jars. I'm using the unzip task to unzip the ear. the problem is that I want to see in my destination folder the war files etracted as well. for eample: I have c:\example.ear inside i have 1.jar, 2.jar 3.war, 4.war after extractio I would like to see:

c:\exmple
  3.war (d)
  4.war (d)
  1.jar (f)
  2.jar (f)

when d=directory f=file


Solution

  • well, apperantaly you cannot create a folder with the same name of a war file in the same location. So what I did in the end was move the war file to a tmp folder and unzip from there to the previous location. solve the trick :-)
