Method Details

pack

protected void pack()
perform the GZip compression operation.
Overrides:
pack in interface Pack

supportsNonFileResources

protected boolean supportsNonFileResources()
Whether this task can deal with non-file resources.

This implementation returns true only if this task is <gzip>. 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.

Overrides:
supportsNonFileResources in interface Pack
Returns:
true if this case supports non file resources.
Since:
Ant 1.7
