Constructor Detail

JarOutputStream

public JarOutputStream(OutputStream out,
                       Manifest man)
                throws IOException
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

public JarOutputStream(OutputStream out)
                throws IOException
Creates a new JarOutputStream with no manifest.

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

putNextEntry

public void putNextEntry(ZipEntry ze)
                  throws IOException
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. 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
