Urgent! How to compile a whole library to Jar
Hi,
I hope someone can help asap:
I downloaded the source code zip of a java library, opened it up and changed a few lines in a few .java files.
Now I want to compile the ENTIRE library to one JAR file, using eclipse. How can I do that? I tried the import/export, but I'm not even sure what exactly should be imported.
I'd appreciate a step-by-step guide.
Thx so much!!!

How did you extract the files from the original jar file - with the "jar" command perhaps? You do the same thing with "re-jarring" the file. Just have the files (including the directory META-INF in a directory) and do a:
jar -cf filename.jar META-INF com
assuming that the .class files are in the "com" directory. Change as needed.

Re: Urgent! How to compile a whole library to Jar
A jar file is just a zip file with a different extension. If it is just a library (opposed to an executable jar), I think you can just put all the .class files (you get a .class file when you compile a .java file) in a zip folder, and change the extension from .zip to .jar.
