The ZipTask creates a .zip archive from a fileset or
directory.
Table C.132: Attributes
| Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
destfile | String | .ZIP filename | n/a | Yes |
basedir | String | Base directory to zip (if no fileset specified, entire directory contents will be included in the archive) | none | No |
prefix | String | File path prefix to use when adding files to zip | none | No |
includeemptydirs | Boolean | If set to true, also empty directories are copied. | true | No |
comment | String | Comment to add to the zip archive | none | No |
ignorelinks | Boolean | Whether to ignore symlinks or not. | false | No |
Important note: using basedir and fileset simultaneously can result in strange contents in the archive.
<zip destfile="phing.zip">
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="**/**" />
</fileset>
</zip>
The above example uses a fileset to determine which files to include in the archive.
<zip destfile="phing.zip" basedir="."/>
The second example uses the basedir attribute to include the contents of that directory (including subdirectories) in the archive.
