Is there a way in ANT to extract one class file from a JAR and put it in another JAR?

ant, jar

Solution

Ok -- answering my own question -- that was surprisingly easy. Sorry I asked.

<unzip src="AAA.JAR" dest="./temp">
  <patternset>
    <include name="**/_*Stub.class" />
  </patternset>
</unzip>

<zip destfile="BBB.JAR" basedir="./temp" />

Thanks ANT.

Problem

My ANT build script uses a WebSphere command called createEJBStubs that produces a JAR file with everything plus one new generated class, namely: `com/myapp/services/_User_Service_Stub.class`. Since this stub class is only used for running JUnit tests at dev time, I would like it to be in its own JAR file. How can I tell ANT to copy everything in `AAA.JAR` that matches, say, `_*Stub.class` and copy only those files into `BBB.JAR` (also, maintaining the same directory/package structure)? Any ideas or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Rob
