Overwriting files in a jar

Hey all,

I'm experiencing difficulties in overwriting files in a jar. To give you an idea of the issue have look at the screenshot below:

As you can see the files I'm trying to overwrite end up twice in the jar file which is somewhat surprising. Is this a quirk of the tool I'm using to open the jar (7zip)?

This is the relevant section of my build file:

task moduleJar(type: Jar) {

destinationDir = project.file('build/jar_for_module')

baseName = project.name

dependsOn project.configurations.moduleJar.buildDependencies

}

moduleJar.doFirst {

task ->

for (jar in task.project.configurations.moduleJar) {

task.from zipTree(jar)

}

def jarContentDir = task.project.file('../../jarcontent/' + task.project.name)

if (jarContentDir.exists()) {

def jarContentBuild = task.project.file('build/jarcontent/META-INF')

jarContentBuild.mkdirs()

task.project.copy {

from jarContentDir

into jarContentBuild

}

task.from task.project.fileTree('build/jarcontent')

}

}

Thanks for your help

Steven
