Hi,

I am experiencing a strange behaviour where all the files in a packaged EAR produced by MyEclipse are marked with the time of one hour ahead.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Erez

Erez,
I packaged up a few Enterprise EARs with some test projects I had (old and new) and none of them had differentiating timestamps on the EARs or the files inside of them, so we need to chalk this one up to ghosts… on your end 😀

I am working on Windows XP, using Jerusalem time-zone, does it mean anything?? Is there any thing I can look into ?

Can you try something, go to File > Export > To Zip, are the contents of the ZIP file timestamped correctly?

[Erez]

ok, I tried it – the file timestamp of all files is one hour ahead. why?

[Riyad Kalla]

No idea at all… that is straight Eclipse code there… try using the jar command line util… does that do it to? If so, try and create a normal zip file with some archive program… did that happen too?

[Erez]

that was really quick reply 🙂 I go and try!

A normal ZIP archive tool does not touch the time of files – and just to make sure I tried it.
So I guess Eclipse touches the time of all files.. strange.
