java version "1.3.0"

There appears to be a mistake in the jar tool documentation at

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/jar.html
 
The problem is in the EXAMPLES part, see excerpt below. In contradiction to the
documentation, the c option will not add files to an existing jar file, instead
it will overwrite the archive file. Adding of files to an archive is done via
the u option.

Excerpt from [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/jar.html]
 
EXAMPLES

  To add all the files in a particular directory to an archive
   jar cvf bundle.jar *
   ...
 If you already have subdirectories for images, audio files and classes
 in your html directory, you might jar up each directory into a single
 jar file
 
   jar cvf bundle.jar audio classes images
