I'm building some Java applets for IE5. The applets need certain
privileges and hence are packaged in a signed CAB file.  I test by
serving the applets up via a local Apache server.

I've set things up so that my JDE->Build menu entry runs Gnu Make to
recompile and re-package and re-sign the CAB file.

How does one let Internet Explorer (or Apache ?) know that the CAB
file is newer and needs to be downloaded again, after each compile
cycle ?

I've been doing the following:
   - dive down into c:/winnt/java/packages
   - find the .ZIP file with the gibberish name that corresponds to my
     code
   - deleting it

but this is dangerous; if you delete the wrong file by accident you
can hose IE's ability to load applets.

Is there a better way ?
