Re: Jar of Toffee!
right click the folder you want it in, click "New" then "Text Document" then rename it to "file.jar" click yes on the popup. congratulations, you have a jar file.

Re: Jar of Toffee!
rook, that only works if you have Windows extensions enabled.
Use the command prompt.

Unfortunately I'm a 'pro' user, so I have them enabled

I just hate that single feature, so I have a widget (made by me) on my 2nd screen's desktop that I can drag files on to. Then I specify the new extension (if any) and it renames it for me

Re: Jar of Toffee!
Actually a .jar file is the same as a .zip file, so you just have to zip the files and rename the .zip to a .jar.

Umm... no. A JAR file is a Java ARchive, so you need a tool that can create them.

Umm... yes. A JAR is a Java ARchive, BUT is created the same way as a ZIP file. That's why you can open .jars in programs that open zips. Believe me, I've had a broken zip opener, so I had to change the names of .zips to .jar so it would open them.
