Unzipper

public Unzipper(java.io.File jarFileName)

creates a JarResources. It extracts all resources from a Jar into an internal hashtable, keyed by resource names.

Parameters:

Method Detail

getNames

public java.lang.String[] getNames()

getBlob

public byte[] getBlob(java.lang.String name)

Extracts a jar resource as a blob.

Parameters:

name - a resource name.

java.io.IOException

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Is a test driver. Given a jar file and a resource name, it trys to extract the resource and then tells us whether it could or not.

Example Let's say you have a JAR file which jarred up a bunch of gif image files. Now, by using JarResources, you could extract, create, and display those images on-the-fly.

     ...
     JarResources JR=new JarResources("GifBundle.jar");
     Image image=Toolkit.createImage(JR.getResource("logo.gif");
     Image logo=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(
                   JR.getResources("logo.gif")
                   );
     ...
