Does anyone else have trouble creating JAR archives on a mac, but not on a PC? I ask because today I was able to create a JAR archive with the help of the new NetBeans version. So out of curiosity, I tried the same thing with the new NetBeans on my mac later on, but I get a no class def found error even after following the same steps I did to get it to work on the PC. Is there something that the mac does that screws up the cretaion of JAR archives or is it just my machine?

I don't use NetBeans, but I have no issues creating jar files on the Mac with the command-line jar utility.

jar cvf foo.jar <list of classes> META-INF

???

No problem with netbeans either

Hm perhaps it's in the method that I'm trying to do it, but I did try the commandline first and even tried this command:jar cvfm myjar.jar meta-inf/manifest.mf *.class. That was given to me by someone on the Sun's forums but it still didn't work even after I fixed the path to point to the manifest file correctly. I may just have to try it again and see if I'm adding an extra step in there that doesn't belong.

Why don't you run jar from the command line and paste the output here so we can at least know why the problem is.
