Folks,
I am trying to embed version (or other) information in a JAR file in the approved manner. I have a Java Compute node in a little message flow that I can deploy and execute, no problem so far.
First observation - the .jar file for my Java Compute logic is nowhere to be seen in the toolkit except from within the bar editor.
IBM say "Add a file called META-INF/keywords.txt to the root of the JAR file".
Second observation - you can't seem to do this from within the toolkit. I finally found my jar file in C:\Documents and Settings\CGardiner\Local Settings\Temp so I assume the toolkit stashes jars there pending being added into a bar.
So how do I add this keywords.txt file into the .jar? With a path that looks like meta-inf? Simply adding a keywords.txt file to the jar via WinZip (predictably) doesn't work, perhaps as there is no way to spoof the meta-inf path. Can anyone help?
I have a feeling that there will be a lot more questions that the documentation can't help with as we get into the detail of V 6.
Thanks all -
Cliff |

There's probably a slick way to do thisin the java perspective, but what about:
1) cd C:\Documents and Settings\CGardiner\Local Settings\Temp
2) mkdir META-INF
3) create the keyword.txt file in that directory
4) use zip to add META-INF/keywords.txt to the jar

Problem solved. Wayne was partly right:
It seems the .jar file is located in C:\Program Files\IBM\Workspaces\WMB6.0\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.etools.mft.jcn - I probably saw it in the temp location because I had been using WinZip to extract it from the .bar file.
So what you do is this:
1 Create the folder C:\META-INF.
2 Create and edit the file C:\META-INF\keywords.txt.
3 Open C:\Program Files\IBM\Workspaces\WMB6.0\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.etools.mft.jcn\YOURJAVA.jar with WinZip.
4 Add in C:\META-INF\keywords.txt, checking the 'Save Full Path Info' box.
5 In the Broker Admin perspective, delete the .jar from the .bar and add it in again.
6 Save, deploy, enjoy, go to the pub, etc.
And that's it. Hope this saves someone else an unwanted wall/head interface situation....
