Description Jeffrey Norton 2002-01-10 17:27:26 UTC

This happens in the 020108_1 build it doesn't happen in the 011217 build.
Module jar files that used to install successfully will not install in the 
020108_1 build.  Various errors result.  The most common one is that the 
layer file cannot be found.  I have also seen errors about the manifest not
being found (in the form of a null pointer exception).  I'll attach one
jar that doesn't install successfully anymore.

Comment 3 Jeffrey Norton 2002-01-10 17:41:21 UTC

Install genericgenerator1 first then try ServiceLocator.  I get 
the following error:

I cannot explain the exception except that there is a bug in JDK's
JarFile and/or Manifest class
