Archiving files using JAR

Q : Do you know a portable tar ?
A : JAR

Jar by default will add a manifest to the archive. A way to avoid the manifest is to use the parameter "m".

-rudy-

Example :

a) Without the parameter "m" .

vegan:rudy ~/Data/FodFin/Certificates $ jar cvf RudyVissersEIDCertificates.jar RudyVissersEID
added manifest
adding: RudyVissersEID/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/RudyVissersAutn.txt(in = 4298) (out= 2408)(deflated 43%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/RudyVissersAutn.cer(in = 995) (out= 861)(deflated 13%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/serialNumber.txt(in = 12) (out= 14)(deflated -16%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/citizen.cer(in = 992) (out= 925)(deflated 6%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/belgium.pem(in = 1302) (out= 981)(deflated 24%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/belgium.cer(in = 920) (out= 833)(deflated 9%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/citizen.pem(in = 1399) (out= 1036)(deflated 25%)
adding: RudyVissersEID/RudyVissersAutn.pem(in = 1403) (out= 1014)(deflated 27%)

b) with the parameter "m"
