I want to find the difference between two jar files sitting on a sun box. How do I do this?
what do youo mean 'difference' ? are you reffering the contents of the files. if so, you can uncompress it by '# jar tf file1.jar > /tmp/file1 ; jar tf file2.jar > /tmp/jar2'
#diff file1 file2
When I run:
jar tf jps.jar > /tmp/paul/jpsjar
I get the following:
/tmp/paul/jpsjar: Is a directory
Am I doing something wrong?
Yes. You are trying to write to an existing directory as if it was a plain file. This can't work. Remove the directory first or use a different file name.
