Thank you

That depends on how you created the jar the first time (which options
you selected in the wizard). If you chose to save the manifest file,
you can open the saved file in Eclipse (double click it in the package
explorer) and edit and save it. If you saved the jar description file,
you can then right click the description file in the package explorer
and select the option to (re)generate the jar.

If you didn't save those things, you can always just run the wizard again.

That's what I would like to do, run the wizard again, however, when i
select the project and say export it doesn't start me at the beginning of
the wizard so i can recreate my manifest and everything else, it seems to
bring me up where i can select which files i can put in the jar, but
that;s all i can do.

Thanks

The manifest options come after the file selection options. Are you
saying that even if you fill in the first dialog, the wizard does not
give you succeeding dialogs?

No, these are the first two steps of the wizard, regardless of whether
you're packaging the jar for the first time or repackaging it.

Under Jar Packaging Options, I recommend that you choose the option to
save the description file (then browse to pick a directory, and type in
a file name). This will expedite any future repackaging. Then click
Next to get to the Jar Manifest Specification dialog. Here's where you
tell Eclipse to use the existing manifest file (which you've presumably
edited).
