Bug#290377: classpath-common: why don't you provide a jar archive ?

2005-01-17 Thread jewel
Do all classpath VMs have native code to load jar files? Does it make
sense to distribute a jar instead?

   Hello !
 
   I was wondering why you don't provide a jar archive ? It seems to me that 
 it is the standard way of 
 providing libraries in java - not all of the JVM recognise directly a zip 
 file...
 
   Thanks for considering this !

Welcome back, John.

The ones the don't have the code to load jars can install classes 
instead of glibj.zip.

A JAR is basically a ZIP. There is no advantage when we call it 
glibj.jar. This will probably get only more problems as people might 
try to add it to their classpathes because its a JAR.
