"jar -cvfm" to Create a JAR with a Manifest File
What is the "jar" command to create a JAR file with my own manifest file?
✍: FYIcenter.com
To create a JAR file with a folder and your own manifest file, you can use the "jar -cvfm jarname manifestfile foldername" command.
For example, the following session creates a new JAR file with all files in a sub folder and a manifest file:
\fyicenter>"%java_home%\bin\jar" -xvf jms.jar \fyicenter>"%java_home%\bin\jar" -cvfm myJar.jar META-INF\MANIFEST.MF .\javax added manifest adding: javax/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: javax/jms/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: javax/jms/BytesMessage.class(in = 1202) (out= 494)(deflated 58%) adding: javax/jms/Connection.class(in = 945) (out= 373)(deflated 60%) adding: javax/jms/ConnectionConsumer.class(in = 275) (out= 189)(deflated 31%) adding: javax/jms/ConnectionFactory.class(in = 311) (out= 179)(deflated 42%) adding: javax/jms/ConnectionMetaData.class(in = 544) (out= 271)(deflated 50%) adding: javax/jms/DeliveryMode.class(in = 207) (out= 160)(deflated 22%) ... \fyicenter>del META-INF\MANIFEST.MF \fyicenter>"%java_home%\bin\jar" -xvf myJar.jar META-INF\MANIFEST.MF inflated: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF \fyicenter>type META-INF\MANIFEST.MF Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.5.3 Created-By: 1.3.0-C (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
The output proves that we haved included the orginal MANIFEST.MF in the myJar.jar correctly. Now myJar.jar is perfect copy of jms.jar.
