Subject:The action of creating a JAR file From:"Jane Carnall" <jane -dot- carnall -at- digitalbridges -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 16 Jul 2001 18:07:24 +0100
Does anyone know of a good verb for the process of taking a set of files and
creating a new JAR file that consists of nothing but those files? What I
have is:
"The Java files comprising your COFFEE service must be compiled into class
files, and should be imported into a JAR file."
If it was a WinZip file, I'd say "zipped": "The Java files comprising your
COFFEE service must be compiled into class files. The class files should be
zipped into a WinZIP file."
The corresponding verb for a JAR file should be "jarred", yet that sounds
wrong. (I could continue the metaphor and say "poured", of course, but I'm
reluctant.)
Anyone got a good verb I could borrow? I have some nice fresh adverbs, only
one careful driver, good resale value... <g>
