So I installed my own java from sun in my home dir, and here is the test I ran: $ cat hello.java public class hello { public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{ System.out.println("Hi"); System.exit(0); } } $ /home/winston/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/javac hello.java $ /home/winston/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/jar -cf myjar.jar hello.class $ unzip myjar.jar Archive: myjar.jar creating: META-INF/ inflating: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF replace hello.class? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: n $ cat META-INF/MANIFEST.MF Manifest-Version: 1.0 Created-By: 1.5.0_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) Does this work for you?

I already removed te syslink in /usr/bin/jar and redid the link to make sure it points to the /usr/java/jdk1.5/jar, but still manifest results in "created by gcj" -- A. Helmy
