    • pack

      protected void pack()
      perform the GZip compression operation.
      Specified by:
      pack in class 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 class Pack
      Returns:
      true if this case supports non file resources.
