Description ischneid 2006-01-05 19:25:07 UTC 
The DTD for libraries as included in the package overview notes this for resources:

 Example:
 jar:file:///usr/lib/java/xerces.jar!/ is resolved to /usr/lib/java/xerces.jar/
 jar:nbinst:///modules/ext/junit.jar!/ is resolved to
${netbeans.home}/modules/ext/junit.jar

Its not clear that the jar protocol should also be used for zip files (as noted
from the junit module) or if some other protocol (zip?) should be used.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-01-05 20:06:26 UTC 
jar: protocol should work fine on ZIP files. The format is the same; a JAR just
conventionally has a manifest.
