Autojar

Here, like in the previous page, files can be specified that are to be added to the archive. However, they are supplied directly, not looked up. A path can either be entered in the text field below and appended to the list by clicking on "add", or a file selection dialog can be started by clicking on "...". To remove one or more items from the list, select them and click on "remove".

In many cases it doesn't make sense to use the complete file path as an entry name, especially if the file contains resources that will be accessed via the class path (getResource(), getResourceAsStream()). As of version 1.0.2, the absolute path can be splitted into a base directory and a relative path. Only the relative part (shown in the second table column) is used as the zip entry name. This corresponds to the -C pseudo option in the command line interface. After entering a file, the root directory is separated from the path (see above). By selecting entries and clicking the shift buttons <--- and ---> path components can be moved from right to left and vice versa.

Example: If in the situation shown above the <--- button is pressed 4 times, the result will look like this:

Archives (.jar or .zip) entered here will not be added as a single file, but as a set of contained files; in other words, they are expanded first.

This is the last wizard page, so the "Next" button is deactivated. After filling out everything, click on "Finish" to start the creation of the archive. The log will appear in the console window.
