I have noticed that on Windows, when you overwrite a file, it either (1) 
Does not overwrite or (2) becomes corrupted. So your problem may not be 
a JB problem, but a Windows problem.

If you are doing this via a Unix/Linux OS, please tell us which one.

I am using Windows XP with JBuilder6.

I've also noticed that when I tried to run a jar file (java -cp 
path -jar
... ) after having recreating 3 or 4 times, it didn't run. When I did 
a
table listing of the jar file (jar tf ...), the the class containing 
the
main method had changed from what I gave in the manifest file.

Thanks for the assistance.

                                           Alvin R.

Try deleting the current jar before you build a new one, or rename the 
current jar file. See if that doesn't solve your problems.

I have had this happen several times on Windows, not just with jar files 
either. Any compression algorithm seems to manifest this Windows bug.

Running a virus scanner by any chance?

I've seen this happen when scanners on running.
