public class JarOutputStream
extends ZipOutputStream

The JarOutputStream class is used to write the contents of a JAR file to any output stream. It extends the class com.ibm.security12.java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream with support for writing an optional Manifest entry. The Manifest can be used to specify meta-information about the JAR file and its entries.
