• Zip all files in directory? 3 answers

I have a foo.war file (JSF web app). I unzipped it just fine.

unzip foo.war

Then meta-inf and web-inf folders are extracted. I made a change to a properties file inside of web-inf and I repackageed it as foo.war.

However below command I tried didn't do it. It left out package name and Java classes under it from classes folder.

zip foo.war META-INF/* WEB-INF/*

Answer 1

running follow command fixed the problem.

zip -r foo.war META-INF/ WEB-INF/
