Quick question (sorry struggling with time)
How can I add any file from my file system under WEB-INF/classes
folder in a jar file? I am trying this with jar command but it copies a file in a jar with its absolute path meaning if I create a file at E:\folder1\WEB-INF\classes
folder and try to add it to a jar it creates folder1/WEB-INF/classes
folder inside the jar and places the file into it.
I used jar command as below
jar -uvf E:\folder1\sample.jar E:\folder1\WEB-INF\classes\pkfe
you need to specifiy the -C
-switch and alter the file-argument like so:
jar -uvf E:\folder1\sample.jar -C E:\folder1 WEB-INF\classes\pkfe
This makes the command run within E:\folder1
and include the files relative from that location
You can also add entire folders this way:
jar -uvf -uvf E:\folder1\sample.jar -C E:\folder1 .
The .
tells the command to add everything at the location of the working directory (E:\folder1
). You need to move your sample.jar to somewhere else, otherwise you would softlock the command, as it would be adding itsself to itsself into eternity...
Several specific files within a folder would work like this
jar -uvf E:\folder1\sample.jar -C E:\folder1 WEB-INF\classes\pkfe -C E:\folder1 WEB-INF\classes\secondFile.dat -C E:\folder1 org\blupp\blah\thirdFile.class
