#6 Update (-u) broken

[Anders Bengtsson]

Using -u gives a bad file descriptor error.

The following won't work in 0.90:

touch file1
touch file2
fastjar -cvf bar.jar file1
fastjar -uvf bar.jar file2

The last line gives the result:

adding: META-INF/ (in=0) (out=0) (stored 0%)
adding: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (in=56) (out=56) (stored 0%)
adding: file2 write: Bad file descriptor

Bug changed its face: the example above wont add file1 to
the archive in 0.93. Bug persists - update does not work.

it seems that debian unstable support -u (using a patch
maybe) , not cygwin :

Debian ;

$ fastjar --ver
jar (fastjar) 0.92-gcc-4.0

$ fastjar -u
fastjar: `-u' mode requires a file name

cygwin :

$ jar --version
jar (fastjar) 0.92-gcc

$ jar -u
jar: `-u' mode unimplemented.

is there a link for cygwin package like debian ones such as

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/fastjar

Using Suse 10.0, and the gcj, gij and fastjar supplied
therewith.

Was looking at using gcj etc to replace Sun java on a
simple java program I have. Part of the build was to create
a jar file, and then add the manifest information
afterwards, and fastjar failed to create an acceptable .jar
file by

fastjar -ufm <jarfile> <manifestfile>

Have a simple self-contained script to demonstrate the
problem, which I'll attach when I've figured how to.

Workaround was to unpack the archive into a separate
directory and repack it with the manifest info.
