<h2><a name="unzip">Unjar/Untar/Unwar/Unzip</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Unzips a zip-, war-, or jar file.</p>
<p><a href="../CoreTypes/patternset.html">PatternSet</a>s are used to select files to extract
<I>from</I> the archive.  If no patternset is used, all files are extracted.
</p>

<p><a href="../CoreTypes/resources.html#collection">Resource
Collection</a>s may be used to select archived files to perform
unarchival upon.  Only file system based resource collections are
supported by Unjar/Unwar/Unzip, this includes <a
href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">fileset</a>, <a
href="../CoreTypes/filelist.html">filelist</a>, <a
href="../using.html#path">path</a>, and <a
href="../CoreTypes/resources.html#files">files</a>.
Untar supports arbitrary resource collections.
Prior to Ant 1.7 only fileset has been supported as a nested element.</p>

<p>You can define filename transformations by using a nested <a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html">mapper</a> element.  The default mapper is the
<a href="../CoreTypes/mapper.html#identity-mapper">identity mapper</a>.
</p>
<p>File permissions will not be restored on extracted files.</p>
<p>The untar task recognizes the long pathname entries used by GNU tar.<p>

<h3>Related tasks</h3>

<pre>
&lt;unzip src="some-archive" dest="some-dir"&gt;
  &lt;patternset&gt;
    &lt;include name="some-pattern"/&gt;
  &lt;/patternset&gt;
  &lt;mapper type=&quot;some-mapper&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/unzip&gt;
</pre>

is identical to

<pre>
&lt;copy todir="some-dir" preservelastmodified="true"&gt;
  &lt;zipfileset src="some-archive"&gt;
    &lt;patternset&gt;
      &lt;include name="some-pattern"/&gt;
    &lt;/patternset&gt;
  &lt;/zipfileset&gt;
  &lt;mapper type=&quot;some-mapper&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/copy&gt;
</pre>

<p>The same is also true for <code>&lt;untar&gt;</code> and
<code>&lt;tarfileset&gt;</code>.  <code>&lt;copy&gt;</code> offers
additional features like <a
href="../CoreTypes/filterchain.html">filtering files</a> on the fly,
allowing a file to be mapped to multiple destinations or a
configurable file system timestamp granularity.</p>
