Adding keywords to JAR files

If a bar file contains JAR files, you can associate keywords with the JAR files.
  1. Add a file called META-INF/keywords.txt to the root of the JAR file.
  2. 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 the Configuration Manager Proxy and in the Message Broker Toolkit.

You have now added keywords to your JAR file.

Next:

When you have added keywords to your JAR file, you can see this information in the bar file editor.
