public Tar.TarFileSet createTarFileSet()

Add a new fileset with the option to specify permissions

Returns:

the tar fileset to be used as the nested element.

add

public void add(ResourceCollection res)

Add a collection of resources to archive.

Parameters:

res - a resource collection to archive.

Since:

Ant 1.7

setTarfile

@Deprecated public void setTarfile(java.io.File tarFile)

Deprecated.

since 1.5.x. For consistency with other tasks, please use setDestFile().

Set is the name/location of where to create the tar file.

Parameters:

tarFile - the location of the tar file.

setDestFile

public void setDestFile(java.io.File destFile)

Set is the name/location of where to create the tar file.

Parameters:

destFile - The output of the tar

Since:

Ant 1.5

setBasedir

public void setBasedir(java.io.File baseDir)

This is the base directory to look in for things to tar.

Parameters:

baseDir - the base directory.

setLongfile

@Deprecated public void setLongfile(java.lang.String mode)

Deprecated.

since 1.5.x. setLongFile(String) is deprecated and is replaced with setLongFile(Tar.TarLongFileMode) to make Ant's Introspection mechanism do the work and also to encapsulate operations on the mode in its own class.

Set how to handle long files, those with a path>100 chars. Optional, default=warn.

Allowable values are

• truncate - paths are truncated to the maximum length
• fail - paths greater than the maximum cause a build exception
• warn - paths greater than the maximum cause a warning and GNU is used
• gnu - GNU extensions are used for any paths greater than the maximum.
• omit - paths greater than the maximum are omitted from the archive

Parameters:

mode - the mode string to handle long files.

setLongfile

public void setLongfile(Tar.TarLongFileMode mode)

Set how to handle long files, those with a path>100 chars. Optional, default=warn.

Allowable values are

• truncate - paths are truncated to the maximum length
• fail - paths greater than the maximum cause a build exception
• warn - paths greater than the maximum cause a warning and GNU is used
• gnu - extensions used by older versions of GNU tar are used for any paths greater than the maximum.
• posix - use POSIX PAX extension headers for any paths greater than the maximum. Supported by all modern tar implementations.
• omit - paths greater than the maximum are omitted from the archive

Parameters:

mode - the mode to handle long file names.

setCompression

public void setCompression(Tar.TarCompressionMethod mode)

Set compression method. Allowable values are

• none - no compression
• gzip - Gzip compression
• bzip2 - Bzip2 compression
• xz - XZ compression, requires XZ for Java

Parameters:

mode - the compression method.

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

Encoding to use for filenames, defaults to the platform's default encoding.

For a list of possible values see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html.

Parameters:

encoding - the encoding name

Since:

since 1.5.x. use the two-arg version instead.

Is the archive up to date in relationship to a list of files.

Parameters:

files - the files to check

Returns:

true if the archive is up to date.

archiveIsUpToDate

protected boolean archiveIsUpToDate(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File dir)

Is the archive up to date in relationship to a list of files.

supportsNonFileResources

protected boolean supportsNonFileResources()

Whether this task can deal with non-file resources.

This implementation returns true only if this task is <tar>. Any subclass of this class that also wants to support non-file resources needs to override this method. We need to do so for backwards compatibility reasons since we can't expect subclasses to support resources.

Returns:

true for this task.

Since:

Ant 1.7

check

protected boolean check(ResourceCollection rc)

Checks whether the archive is out-of-date with respect to the resources of the given collection.

Also checks that either all collections only contain file resources or this class supports non-file collections.

And - in case of file-collections - ensures that the archive won't contain itself.

Parameters:

rc - the resource collection to check

Returns:

whether the archive is up-to-date

Since:

Ant 1.7

check

protected boolean check(java.io.File basedir, java.lang.String[] files)

Parameters:

basedir - base directory for file names

files - array of relative file names

Returns:

whether the archive is up-to-date

Since:

Ant 1.7
