  - JarOutputStream
```
public JarOutputStream(OutputStream out,
 Manifest man)
 throws IOException 
```
    Creates a new JarOutputStream with the specified Manifest. The manifest is written as the first entry to the output stream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - the actual output stream
    
    man - the optional Manifest
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
  - JarOutputStream
```
public JarOutputStream(OutputStream out)
 throws IOException 
```
    Creates a new JarOutputStream with no manifest.
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - the actual output stream
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
- Method Detail
  - putNextEntry
```
public void putNextEntry(ZipEntry ze)
 throws IOException 
```
    Begins writing a new JAR file entry and positions the stream to the start of the entry data. This method will also close any previous entry. The default compression method will be used if no compression method was specified for the entry. The current time will be used if the entry has no set modification time.
    
    Overrides:
    
    putNextEntry in class ZipOutputStream
    
    Parameters:
    
    ze - the ZIP/JAR entry to be written
    
    Throws:
    
    ZipException - if a ZIP error has occurred
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
