In this lesson, we will only concern ourselves with the parameters required to achieve our objective of adding a new Bean to the ToolBox. Hopefully, a future lesson will discuss JAR files in more detail. Our skeleton Bean application is named Beans01.java . The manifest file named Beans01.mft Obviously the contents of these files is important. Equally important is where they reside within the directory structure on your computer.
First lets take care of the contents.
True The batch file executes the jar program with the cfm switches set. The f-switch says to create the new file as specified by the parameter immediately following the switches. The m-switch says to use the file named Beans01.mft in the same directory as the batch file as the manifest file. In this case, we are including only class files which are contained in the specified path and directory. In fact, there is only one class file.
