What happened to Jar#merge() method?

Hey,

It seems the Jar class doesn't have the merge() method (anymore?):

println jar.metaClass.methods*.name

[equals, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait, capt

ureStandardOutput, compareTo, compareTo, deleteAllActions, dependsOn, dependsOnT

askDidWork, disableStandardOutputCapture, doFirst, doLast, equals, execute, getA

Strangely the cookbook does use it:

"Creating a fat jar":

jar.doFirst {
    for(file in configurations.compile) {
        jar.merge(file)
    }
}

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRADLE/Cookbook#Cookbook-Creatingafatjar

The 0.8 groovydoc still has the merge() method:

http://gradle.org/0.8/docs/groovydoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/bundling/AbstractArchiveTask.html#merge(Object[])

I'm using the latest HEAD:

Is there supposed to be a merge method or not?

Thanks

this is true. We have some more generic mechanism now. There is now a tarTree and zipTree method in the project which creates objects of the respective type. You can use them now in the copy as well as the zip task in similar ways. For the archive tasks this is replacing the merge functionality.

task copy(type: Copy) {

    from tarTree('test.tar')

    exclude '**/*.xml'

    into buildDir

}

task zip(type: Zip) {

    from zipTree('test.zip')

    from tarTree('test.tar')

    fileSet(dir: 'test')

    destinationDir = buildDir

    customName = 'test.zip'

}

I've added a note that this is valid only for Gradle 0.8. Thanks for
pointing this out. I'll add the snippets for 0.9 version soon.

Hi,

Just to let people know: We usually add API changes like this to the 'breaking changes' wiki page:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRADLE/Gradle+0.9+Breaking+Changes

I try to keep this page up-to-date as soon as the change is committed (sometimes I forget). The javadocs and userguide and the wiki and everything else tends to take a bit longer to get updated.
