Hello, (a bit off topic, but this is a unix/linux-specific java question) I have several packages that are logically (to me) arranged in the file tree; the CLASSPATH points to their .jars and everything works fine. I would like to combine the class files into a *single jar* to be distributed to people. Is this possible/is it only possible if all the jars reside under a single tree and the packages are renamed accordingly? Example off the top of my head: /usr/xx/dev/applications/util/foo/foo.java package util.foo imports /usr/xx/dev/lib/zlib/zlibmisc.java package zlib Can util.foo.* and zlib.* live in the same jar? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- j.p.lewis, r&d lead centropolis fx 310 449 4545 [EMAIL PROTECTED] //www.idiom.com/~zilla
