Modifying a JAR File

You can change the content or any other aspects of a JAR file you have created in the IDE by modifying the properties of its JAR contents file and recompiling the JAR file.

To modify a JAR file:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the node (JAR Contents) for the JAR file you want to modify and choose Properties.
  2. In the property sheet, modify whatever needs to be changed, such as the filter, content of the archive, or the manifest.
  3. Right-click the JAR contents file's node in the Explorer and choose Compile from the contextual menu to replace the existing JAR file with a new modified archive.
