Adding keywords to JAR files

If a BAR file contains JAR files, you can associate keywords with the JAR files.

Before you start:

Read about keywords in Message flow version and keywords.

To add keywords to a JAR file:

Add a file called META-INF/keywords.txt to the root of the JAR file.
Add your keywords to the META-INF/keywords.txt file, because this file is parsed for keywords when it is deployed. Keywords have this format:
```
$MQSI keyword = value MQSI$
```

For example, a deployed BAR file contains compute.jar, and compute.jar contains the file META-INF/keywords.txt with the following contents:

# META-INF/keywords.txt
$MQSI modified date = 3 Nov MQSI$
$MQSI author = john MQSI$

This content means that the keywords "modified date" and "author" are associated with the deployed file compute.jar in IBM® Integration API (also known as the CMP) applications, including the IBM Integration Toolkit.

You have now added keywords to your JAR file.

Next:

When you have added keywords to your JAR file, you can display them in the BAR file editor; for more information, see Version and keyword information for deployable objects .
