This=20 isn't a Cygwin issue -- I had this problem using jar under Linux as = well. =20 I don't remember exactly why, but I came to the conclusion that jar = creates a=20 new archive each time it's invoked. It doesn't add files to = existing=20 archives.

Subject: B20 (NT) xargs = creates=20 multiple commands, not just one

I'm trying to use a

script using xargs

to create a JAR file

in java.....

xargs issues multiple

JAR commands apparently

due to the number of files

being passed to it.

each time JAR is executed

it clears out the previous

files already added.

i really need all the files

included in one JAR command.

is there anyway to increase = whatever

buffer is being blown which causes

xargs to execute multiple commands?
