creating a jar file

[kenji mapes]

Maybe it's just me but the Java Tutorial documentation is not helpful. I know the commands but can't seem to create one.

Every time I go into a command line or a shell in Win, it says the command jar is unrecognized. I get the same when I go into the Gnome Terminal on my Linux box.

Thanks.

You need to put the bin directory of JAVA_HOME in your PATH assuming JAVA_HOME is the directory of your JSDK.

Got it. Appended the system variables and user variables in advanced/environment variables with C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin (which is where my J Archive Tool is, of course).

At the cmd prompt, jar then worked! Awesome. Thanks.

Best,
Kenji
