To create a JAR file you need archiving program
jar.exe
, which is included in the Java Software
Development Kit. You can download the JDK here:

Let Mif2Go create the JAR file
Let Mif2Go create the JAR file
To have Mif2Go create a JAR file for you, specify a jar
command that works on your system. For example:
[JavaHelpOptions] or [OracleHelpOptions]
; JarCommand = path to jar, without any parameters; the cvf and * are
; added before and after the HSFileName (with .jar ext) automatically
JarCommand = D:/j2sdk14/jdk/bin/jar
JarCommand
must include
an absolute path to jar.exe
, unless jar.exe
is on your system PATH
. Do not include parameters.
Mif2Go provides the cvf
and
*
parameters, and gives the resulting JAR file
the base name of your helpset file as specified by HSFileName
(see §11.3.8.1 Specifying helpset file name and title),
and extension .jar
.
To create a JAR file yourself, run the jar
command from the directory where your helpset file is located. The following
example creates file myproj
.jar
and places it in the same directory as the helpset file. You can put
the commands in a .bat
file.
path\to\JDK\files\bin\jar cvf myproj.jar *
