An extension of the Jar task with special treatment for files that should end up in an Enterprise Application archive.
(The Ear task is a shortcut for specifying the particular layout of a EAR file. The same thing can be accomplished by using the prefix and fullpath attributes of zipfilesets in a Zip or Jar task.)
The extended zipfileset element from the zip task (with attributes prefix, fullpath, and src) is available in the Ear task.
