http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32649 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-12-20 05:53 ------- We can handle a delay, after all, we have no schedule for the next release. One question: are you trying to look for a magic number at an offset in the binary, or are you parsing the zip file? A magic number pattern is most like classic unix exe lookup, but is inordinately brittle against different legitimate layouts of ZIP files. You should really be recognising the PK DWORD at the beginning of the file and say 'this is a zip, lets look inside it *using the zip algorithm* and see if it has a manifest. Presence of a valid manifest is what should really determine if a jar is executable. If that aint there, you wont know which class to execute, etc, etc. Since we do produce valid manifests if asked to, that should all work. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
