Are you trying to create a .xpi file (you mentioned JAR file)? If so and if you
have a simple plugin file, you can take a look at the install.js in the
flash.xpi file located here:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/windows/win32/xpi/
Its install.js simply installs whatever is zipped up in its plugins dir into the
Netscape 6's Plugins folder. All you would have to do is modifty the
initInstall() and addDirectory() functions in the script to reflect the name and
version of your plugin.
You can use this script as a template for now since there doesn't seem to be any
docs around. The .xpi file is simply a .zip archive (oh, and you can ignore the
CVS dirs in flash.xpi).
