Im not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but it sounds like the
java included with fedora is causing a problem. So I installed my own
java from sun in my home dir, and here is the test I ran:
$ cat hello.java
public class hello {
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
System.out.println("Hi");
System.exit(0);
}
}
$ /home/winston/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/javac hello.java
$ /home/winston/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/jar -cf myjar.jar hello.class
$ unzip myjar.jar
Archive: myjar.jar
creating: META-INF/
inflating: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
replace hello.class? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: n
$ cat META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.5.0_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Does this work for you?

Ok, I don't really know any thing much about export & PATH stuff, so can some one point me out in a simple guide here? I already removed te syslink in /usr/bin/jar and redid the link to make sure it points to the /usr/java/jdk1.5/jar, but still manifest results in "created by gcj"
