  <h2><a name="archive">Archiving Tasks</a></h2>

  <p>For each of the supported archiving formats there is a
    correspondig <code>archiving</code> task.  These tasks are
    supersets of the
    core <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/tar.html">tar</a>
    and <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/zip.html">zip</a>
    tasks but don't share any code with them.  Note that some
    attributes may use different defaults from the core tasks or some
    functionality may be available in different ways than with the core
    tasks - see the <a href="#tar">tar</a> and <a href="#zip">zip</a>
    documentation for details.</p>

  <p>If some of the nested resources that shall be added to the
    archive are archive resources themselves - i.e. they come from one
    of this Antlib's <a href="entry.html"><code>entry</code></a> or
    <a href="fileset.html"><code>fileset</code></a> resources or are
    core <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/resources.html#tarentry"><code>tarentry</code></a>
    or <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/resources.html#zipentry"><code>zipentry</code></a>
    resources or returned by a
    core <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/tarfileset.html"><code>tarfileset</code></a>
    or <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/zipfileset.html"><code>zipfileset</code></a>
    - the task will try to preserve the entry's permissions and as
    many other attributes of the entry as the archiving format
    supports.</p>

  <p>All archiving tasks share the following attributes and nested
    elements:</p>

  <h3>Parameters</h3>

        permissions and will instead apply its own default values.<br/>
        Set this attribute to true if you really want to preserve the

        times with a granularity of two seconds, the other formats use
        a single second as granularity.<br/>

        Times will either be rounded up or down.  If you round down,
        the archive will always seem out-of-date when you rerun the
        task, so the default is to round up.  Rounding up may lead to
        a different type of problems like JSPs inside a web archive
        that seem to be slightly more recent than precompiled pages,
        rendering precompilation useless.<br/>

  <h4><a name="mode"><em>mode</em> attribute</a></h4>

  <p>There are three basic modes a task can be in:</p>

  <ul>

    <li><strong>create</strong> - creates an archive that will contain
      all resources that have been specified as nested resources.</li>

    <li><strong>replace</strong> - creates an archive that will
      contain all resources that have been specified as nested
      resources.  If the <em>dest</em> archive exists before running
      the task, any resource of the original archive that doesn't
      match a resource specified as nested resource will be
      preserved.</li>

    <li><strong>update</strong> - creates an archive that will
      contain all resources that have been specified as nested
      resources that are newer than their corresponding entries in the
      <em>dest</em> archive - or that don't exist in the <em>dest</em>
      archive.  If the <em>dest</em> archive exists before running the
      task, any resource of the original archive that doesn't match a
      resource specified as nested resource or is more recent than the
      nested resource will be preserved.</li>

  </ul>

  <p>If the <em>dest</em> archive doesn't exist before running the
    task, all modes behave the same.  If it does
    exist, <strong>create</strong> may remove existing
    entries and <strong>replace</strong> may replace entries that are
    more recent than the specified source resources.</p>

  <p>All three modes will first check whether the <em>dest</em>
    archive is "out of date".  An archive is considered out of date
    if</p>

  <ul>
    <li>it doesn't exist.</li>
    <li>it exists but for at least one source resource there is no
      matching entry in the <em>dest</em> resource.</li>
    <li>the matching entry for at least one source resource is older
      than the source resource.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Neither of the basic modes will modifiy the <em>dest</em> archive
    if it is not "out of date".  For the <strong>create</strong>
    and <strong>replace</strong> modes there are
    variants <strong>force-create</strong>
    and <strong>force-replace</strong> that will bypass the "out of
    date" check and always replace (entries in) existing archives.</p>

  <h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>

  <h4>dest</h4>

  <p>Accepts
    any <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/resources.html">resource</a>
    or single element resource collection as nested element.</p>

  <p>The specified resource will be used as dest.</p>

  <h4>any <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/resources.html">resource</a>
    or resource collection</h4>

  <p>This specifies the files and directories that shall be added to
    the archive.</p>

  <p>An <a href="#archive">archiving task</a> creating archives of the
    AR format.</p>

  <p>The AR format is pretty limited, by default it can only store file names up
    to 16 characters and not store directories at all.  It is not
    possible to set the <code>filesonly</code> attribute to true for
    the <code>ar</code> task.</p>

  <h3><a name="sevenz">SevenZ</a></h3>

  <p><em>Since Compress Antlib 1.3</em></p>

  <p>An <a href="#archive">archiving task</a> creating archives of the

    </tr>
  </table>

  <h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>

  <h4>contentMethod</h4>

  <p>Specifies and configures a content method to use when creating an
  archive.  Multiple methods build a pipeline where the first method
  is used to process the original input and its output is sent ot the
  next method until the final output is written to the archive.</p>

  <p>As of Commons Compress 1.8 in addition to the compression methods
    "LZMA2", "BZIP2", "DEFLATE" or "COPY" filters can be used.  Names
    of filter methods end with "_FILTER" and must not be used as final
    method - this is neither enforced by this antlib or Commons
    Compress but 7z may fail to extract the archive.  As of Commons
    Compress 1.8 the supported filters are "BCJ_X86_FILTER",
    "BCJ_PPC_FILTER", "BCJ_IA64_FILTER", "BCJ_ARM_FILTER",
    "BCJ_ARM_THUMB_FILTER", "BCJ_SPARC_FILTER" and "DELTA_FILTER".
    The "BCJ" filters may improve compression ratio for executables
    for a given platform.</p>

  <p>Some methods support additional options, "DELTA_FILTER" even
    requires one.  The interpretation or even the type of an option
    depends on the method -
    see <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/javadocs/api-1.8/org/apache/commons/compress/archivers/sevenz/SevenZMethodConfiguration.html">Commons
    Compress' documentation</a>.  As of version 1.5 only numeric
    options are supported.</p>

  <h3><a name="tar">Tar</a></h3>

  <p>An <a href="#archive">archiving task</a> creating archives of the

  <p>This task does not support the <code>compression</code> attribute
    of
    the <a href="https://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/tar.html">core

  </table>

  <h4><a name="tarformat"></a>Tar format</h4>

  <p>Over time the original tar format has seen various extensions and
    revisions.  The Apache Commons Compress library supports the
    original format (called "ustar") and some extensions added later,
    but not all of them.  It supports a subset of features offered by
    the POSIX 1003.1 standard (often referred to as PAX), but this
    support is not complete.</p>

  <p>The Compress Antlib follows Commons Compress' support.  Currently
    the format affects two areas, files bigger than 8 GiB or that need
    other numeric values not fitting into the traditional tar headers
    and entries with names longer than 100 characters.  For Commons
    Compress these areas can be configured separately while the Antlib
    chooses them based on a single format attribute.</p>

<p>This example shows building a tar which uses the GNU extensions for long paths and
where some files need to be marked as executable (mode 755)
and the rest are use the default mode (read-write by owner). The first
fileset selects just the executable files. The second fileset must exclude
the executable files and include all others. </p>

        In order to store entries bigger than 4GB or more than 65536
        entries inside an archive, so called Zip64 extensions must be
        used.  An archive that uses such extensions may not be
        readable by all unarchivers.<br/>
        The possible modes are "always", "never" and "as-needed".  The
        default is "as-needed" which enables Zip64 extensions if a
        resource is added to the archive whose size is known to exceed
        4GB or if there are more than 65536 entries.  "as-needed" does
        not work for resources of unknown size (like URL-resources),
        if you try to archive such resources, the default will be
        "never" instead of "as-needed".<br/>
        If the mode is "never" and the resource actually exceeds the
        limit, the build will fail.
