Another JDK1.3 vs. Kaffe question

[Paul E Johnson]

Using "jar" from version kaffe-1.0.5-6, I got errors:

address@hidden i686]$ jar -tvf /usr/share/swarm/swarm.jar
     0 Thu Jan 01 0-6:00:00 CST 1970 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

However, the jar in the jdk-1.3 does not cause the same errors.

This jar file was created on this system, I believe it was created with
the Kaffe version of jar, which is in the path.  

I keep remembering something like this last year, and the conclusion was
that the Kaffe jar should be deleted and I should sym link to the jdk
one. Am I dreaming?
