Building the ShowText Component

The Show Text JAR file is built from the following source files:

- ShowText.java
- ShowTextBeanInfo.java

The JAR file is constructed using a batch file, which references a manifest file which notes which file(s) in the JAR are JavaBeans:

- BuildShowText.bat
  (or on Unix, type `sh BuildShowText.sh`)
- ShowText.mf

(Note: Instead of using the command line JDK tool to create the JAR, Netscape offers a graphical JAR creation tool.)

Create `ShowText.jar` by running `BuildShowText.bat` (or `BuildShowText.sh` on Unix) from the `(install dir)/samples/ShowText/` directory.
