Looking for a jar manager in java.

[Guest]

I'm looking for a jar manager o.s.-free in java. I need to read and
manipulate jar contents even changing (adding, renaming and deleting) files
inside (resources and ".class" file) e.g. exporting a "class" object inside
it.

Thank you.

There is an Eclipse plugin "Jar-Plug" which allows manipulating jars

Why does a standard zip utility not suffice? A .jar file is, after all, a
..zip file with a specially structured content.

If you're working on Linux, try Midnight Commander. You can open jar
files and edit contents without having to unjar/jar! It's absolutely
fantastic (don't be fooled by the primitive interface).

Thankx to all.

Anyway what I need is a package to be included in a wider project. So
graphic interfaces aren't needed or wanted. And yes... I think a zip would
be good too.

Ant has a jar "utility" built in as well.
