What are files located in *.jar/META-INF/*.*?

I found that c.tld file of jstl-1.2.jar is located in META-INF/*.* inside this jar. How to access these files from code in this jar? Just with getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/c.tld")? Or META-INF has special processing rules?

Solution

  • It's ok to get the content of the c.tld using getResourceAsStream. Just do not change it and write back to the file.
