Confluence 2.7 Temp Archive : Editing files within .jar archives
This page last changed on Nov 01, 2007 by ganand.
With the release of Confluence 2.6.0, many files have been moved inside the main .jar file, which means they can no longer be edited by simply opening and saving a file. For those not familiar with the terminology, a .jar file is a Java ARchive file. It's like a Unix .tar file, and is managed by a very similar command-line tool jar which is included with the JDK. Essentially, it takes several files, or an entire directory structure, and compresses them together into a single file. This saves a little space, and makes it much easier to manage that group of files as a single unit. The terms "file" and "archive" can be used interchangeably in this context, as they refer to the same collection of bytes.
These instructions assume a Unix environment, but they also apply to Windows for the most part. If you're working at the command-line, the only real change will be substituting dir for cd. |
