Release Note: New Option to Extract a JAR File to a Specific Directory Using the jar Tool

XMLWordPrintable

    • jar

      The `jar` tool's extract operation has been enhanced to allow the `--dir` or the `-C` options to be used to specify the directory where the archive will be extracted.

      *Example Usages:*

      `jar -xf foo.jar -C /tmp/bar/`

      or

      `jar --extract --file foo.jar --dir /tmp/bar/`


      Either of these commands will extract the `foo.jar` to the `/tmp/bar` directory.
