| 1 | Working on Jar and Zip code using the NetBeans IDE

| 3 | This note is specific to working on jar and zip; much more information about
|
|---|
| 4 | working with this project and others is in ../README.
|

|
|---|
| 6 | This project allows developers to work on the Jar and Zip in java.util.jar and
|
|---|
| 7 | java.util.zip, as well as the jar tool itself in sun.tools.jar. The NetBeans
|
|---|
| 8 | project supports editing, building, testing, and debugging of this code. This
|
|---|
| 9 | is a make-based project, and involves compilation of native code. Some of
|
|---|
| 10 | this native code is provided by the JDK community, but the base zip library is
|
|---|
| 11 | from http://www.zlib.net.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | Please note: The most recent zlib is version 1.2.3. We are providing zlib
|
|---|
| 14 | version 1.1.3, modified to include security fixes that have been added since
|
|---|
| 15 | that release.

|

| 19 | The jar tool depends on the jar library, which in turn depends on the zip
|
|---|
| 20 | library. This in turn depends on some native code, which in turn depends on
|
|---|
| 21 | the zlib library:
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | sun.tools.jar depends on
|
|---|
| 24 | java.util.jar, which depends on
|
|---|
| 25 | java.util.zip, which depends on
|
|---|
| 26 | src/share/native/java/util/zip, which depends on
|
|---|
| 27 | src/share/native/java/util/zip/zlib-1.1.3.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | The project is set up to invoke make on the zip code first. This make target
|
|---|
| 30 | compile the native zip code, as well as the Java sources in java.util.zip.
|
|---|
| 31 | Subsequent invocations of make build java.util.jar, and then sun.tools.jar.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | Insofar as NetBeans use is concerned with Java code, most things you are used
|
|---|
| 34 | to. You can build the project. There are several regression tests included,
|
|---|
| 35 | run either as a group via Test Project or individually via Run File.
|
|---|
| 36 | Debugging is also supported, try Debug File. Since the jar tool needs command
|
|---|
| 37 | line parameters in order to do anything interesting, it is not hooked up to
|
|---|
| 38 | Run Project in NetBeans.
