          public Jar()

      constructor

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setWhenempty

          public void setWhenempty(Zip.WhenEmpty we)

      Not used for jar files.
      Overrides:
        `setWhenempty` in class `Zip`
      Parameters:
        `we` - not used

    - #### setWhenmanifestonly

          public void setWhenmanifestonly(Zip.WhenEmpty we)

      Indicates if a jar file should be created when it would only contain a manifest file. Possible values are: `fail` (throw an exception and halt the build); `skip` (do not create any archive, but issue a warning); `create` (make an archive with only a manifest file). Default is `create`;
      Parameters:
        `we` - a `WhenEmpty` enumerated value

    - #### setStrict

          public void setStrict(Jar.StrictMode strict)

      Activate the strict mode. When set to true a BuildException will be thrown if the Jar-Packaging specification was broken.
      Parameters:
        `strict` - New value of the strict mode.
      Since:
        Ant 1.7.1

    - #### setJarfile

          public void setJarfile(java.io.File jarFile)

      Deprecated. since 1.5.x. Use setDestFile(File) instead.
      Set the destination file.
      Parameters:
        `jarFile` - the destination file

    - #### setIndex

          public void setIndex(boolean flag)

      Set whether or not to create an index list for classes. This may speed up classloading in some cases.
      Parameters:
        `flag` - a `boolean` value

    - #### setIndexMetaInf

          public void setIndexMetaInf(boolean flag)

      Set whether or not to add META-INF and its children to the index.

      Doesn't have any effect if index is false.

      Sun's jar implementation used to skip the META-INF directory and Ant followed that example. The behavior has been changed with Java 5. In order to avoid problems with Ant generated jars on Java 1.4 or earlier Ant will not include META-INF unless explicitly asked to.

      Parameters:
        `flag` - a `boolean` value, defaults to false
      Since:
        Ant 1.8.0
      See Also:
        jar -i omits service providers in index.list

    - #### setManifestEncoding

          public void setManifestEncoding(java.lang.String manifestEncoding)

      The character encoding to use in the manifest file.
      Parameters:
        `manifestEncoding` - the character encoding

    - #### addConfiguredManifest

          public void addConfiguredManifest(Manifest newManifest)
                                     throws ManifestException

      Allows the manifest for the archive file to be provided inline in the build file rather than in an external file.
      Parameters:
        `newManifest` - an embedded manifest element
      Throws:
        `ManifestException` - on error

    - #### setManifest

          public void setManifest(java.io.File manifestFile)

      The manifest file to use. This can be either the location of a manifest, or the name of a jar added through a fileset. If its the name of an added jar, the task expects the manifest to be in the jar at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
      Parameters:
        `manifestFile` - the manifest file to use.

    - #### setFilesetmanifest

          public void setFilesetmanifest(Jar.FilesetManifestConfig config)

      Behavior when a Manifest is found in a zipfileset or zipgroupfileset file. Valid values are "skip", "merge", and "mergewithoutmain". "merge" will merge all of manifests together, and merge this into any other specified manifests. "mergewithoutmain" merges everything but the Main section of the manifests. Default value is "skip". Note: if this attribute's value is not "skip", the created jar will not be readable by using java.util.jar.JarInputStream

        `zOut` - the zip output stream
        `vPath` - the name this entry shall have in the archive

                                                throws BuildException

      Collect the resources that are newer than the corresponding entries (or missing) in the original archive.

      If we are going to recreate the archive instead of updating it, all resources should be considered as new, if a single one is. Because of this, subclasses overriding this method must call `super.getResourcesToAdd` and indicate with the third arg if they already know that the archive is out-of-date.

      Overrides:
        `getResourcesToAdd` in class `Zip`
      Parameters:
        `rcs` - The resource collections to grab resources from
        `zipFile` - intended archive file (may or may not exist)
        `needsUpdate` - whether we already know that the archive is out-of-date. Subclasses overriding this method are supposed to set this value correctly in their call to super.getResourcesToAdd.
      Returns:
        an array of resources to add for each fileset passed in as well as a flag that indicates whether the archive is uptodate.
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - if it likes

    - #### createEmptyZip

          protected boolean createEmptyZip(java.io.File zipFile)
                                    throws BuildException

      Create an empty jar file.
      Overrides:
        `createEmptyZip` in class `Zip`
      Parameters:
        `zipFile` - the file to create
      Returns:
        true for historic reasons
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - on error

    - #### cleanUp

          protected void cleanUp()

      See Also:
        `Zip.cleanUp()`

                                           throws java.io.IOException

      Writes the directory entries from the first and the filenames from the second list to the given writer, one entry per line.
      Parameters:
        `dirs` - a list of directories
        `files` - a list of files
        `writer` - the writer to write to
      Throws:

          protected static java.lang.String findJarName(java.lang.String fileName,
                                     java.lang.String[] classpath)

      try to guess the name of the given file.

      If this jar has a classpath attribute in its manifest, we can assume that it will only require an index of jars listed there. try to find which classpath entry is most likely the one the given file name points to.

      In the absence of a classpath attribute, assume the other files will be placed inside the same directory as this jar and use their basename.

      if there is a classpath and the given file doesn't match any of its entries, return null.

      Parameters:
        `fileName` - the name to look for
        `classpath` - the classpath to look in (may be null)

        the matching entry, or null if the file is not found
