jar.exe - preventing recursive directory contents

Thread view:

VisionSet - 12 Feb 2006 17:30 GMT

say I have a package structure

base/
base/suba
base/subb

I want to create a jar with the contents of base and base/suba
but jar only wants to do it recursively so

jar cfm ..\server.jar manifest.mf base\ base\suba\

will include base/subb

any way around that?

The -C option is no good since it destroys the package structure

TIA

Try the following, which should include files under base with
extensions, and everything under base\suba but no other directories
under base:
jar cfm ..\server.jar manifest.mf base\*.* base\suba\

Thanks that works great, sort of obvious really, but it'd be nice to see it
documented somewhere!
