[OT] how to make a folder be a jar file

[Scott Rossi]

Perhaps try using Terminal to create the JAR file?

the-terminal


They make mention of a manifest file in the JAR.  Assuming your archive
has this file and the archive works as expected before editing?

(Never done any of this, just passing along a suggestion.)
