Index Files are designed for Applets mostly, AFAIR, and only defined in the main JAR of the applet. It avoid downloading all dependent JARs, at least not until classes from them are really necessary. Without this mapping of classes to JARs, the browser needs to download all dependent JARs. So only on Index File is necessary, in the main Applet jar. --DD

Hello, if I am not mistaken, index files help with jar files that reference other jar files in metainf's classpath. However ANT creates index files only for the jar being created. How is it supposed to work? Sincerely, Alexey Solofnenko. -- { http://trelony.cjb.net/ } Alexey N.
