I wish to store a few folders in a zip file and then convert that zip file into a jar.
I have the following folders : META-INF and org.
I tried the following command:
zip META-INF/ org/ wordcount.zip
But wordcount.zip was not created.
The syntax is the other way around; you give the name of the .zip file to create first in the list. Also, use the -r flag for recursion into directories:
zip -r wordcount.zip META-INF org
This creates a file wordcount.zip (you may be able to omit the .zip in the command as this is automatically added if possible) with all the contents of the two directories META-INF and org
