JAR Information File Syntax
Creating a JAR information file involves writing a script that specifies which tasks
to perform when installing a module. In order to specify different module
installation procedures for different platforms, you use keys, predefined commands
and options that
Keys are case-insensitive strings that are grouped into three categories:
•
Global Keys
•
Per-Platform Keys
•
Per-File Keys
The following sections describe the function of each of these three categories and
list the keys contained in each one.
Global Keys
Global keys define the platform-specific sections of the JAR information file. There
are two global keys:
ForwardCompatible
and Operating Systems that are compatible with later versions of the same
architectures and Operating Systems. If the platform that
module on is not specified by the

version. If one is found, its attributes are used for the current platform.

contains various attributes of the platform. The
