8.2 Creating a Java .jar File

After you have implemented your class file, create a Java .jar file (Java archive) by using the jar tool. The .jar file must contain the class that you have created. Put the .jar file into the classes directory. The path might differ, depending on the platform you’re on, but it should be the same location as DelimitedTextShim.jar and DelimitedTextUtil.jar.

NOTE:The default path for .jar file:

  • In Windows: novell/nds/lib

  • In Linux: /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes
