The JarOutputStream class is used to write the contents of a JAR file to any output stream. It extends the class java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream with support for writing an optional Manifest entry. The Manifest can be used to specify meta-information about the JAR file and its entries.

  • Constructor Details

    • JarOutputStream

      Creates a new JarOutputStream with the specified Manifest. The manifest is written as the first entry to the output stream.

      Parameters:
      out - the actual output stream
      man - the optional Manifest
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
    • JarOutputStream

      Creates a new JarOutputStream with no manifest.

      Parameters:
      out - the actual output stream
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
  • Method Details

    • putNextEntry

      Begins writing a new JAR file entry and positions the stream to the start of the entry data. This method will also close any previous entry.

      The default compression method will be used if no compression method was specified for the entry. When writing a compressed (DEFLATED) entry, and the compressed size has not been explicitly set with the ZipEntry.setCompressedSize(long) method, then the compressed size will be set to the actual compressed size after deflation.

      The current time will be used if the entry has no set modification time.

      Overrides:
      putNextEntry in class ZipOutputStream
      Parameters:
      ze - the ZIP/JAR entry to be written
      Throws:
      ZipException - if a ZIP error has occurred
      IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
