Once you have a manifest file, say manifest.txt, then you can
create a JAR file using the command-line jar program. Suppose, for
example, that your current directory contains all the class files needed by your
movie application program. Then, you can create a JAR file by typing the
following:
*-- Command
| *-- Manifest file
| | *-- JAR file produced
| | | *-- Included class files
| | | |
v v v v
jar -cmf manifest.txt MovieApplication.jar *.class
---
^
*-- c means create a new JAR file
m means use the following manifest file
f means use the file name supplied
You can use wildcards to identify a collection of files, as shown. Alternatively, you can supply a list of explicit file names, separated by spaces.
