How do you convert an applet to jar form?

Answer 1

The most usual way is by way of the jar command. The jar command takes a series of inputs, usually a set of class files and folders that represent the binaries (.class, images, audio files, etc) files you wish to combine into a single jar file. The example given by Oracle on the command is as follows:

jar cvf TicTacToe.jar TicTacToe.class audio images

This takes the TicTacToe.class file, the folder audio, and the folder images, and combines them into the TicTacToe.jar file.

The parameters cvf stand for "create", "verbose output", and and "file output"; these are the most common parameters when creating a jar file. For details, see the attached link.
