That way users don't need to install java to run us. Jar is just a zip file so the change is purely cosmetic. The ocaml side may be more of a rabbit hole, which then may extend to the other analyzers. There are still some things using the .jar extension: - `bchsummaries.jar` since that file is a copy of what we have in the ocaml analyzer repo: https://github.com/static-analysis-engineering/codehawk/tree/master/CodeHawk/CHB/bchsummaries https://github.com/static-analysis-engineering/codehawk/blob/master/CodeHawk/CHB/bchsummaries/makejar.sh - `*functions.jar` in the analysis folder: the ocaml analyzer reads in this file and expects that filename: https://github.com/static-analysis-engineering/codehawk/blob/master/CodeHawk/CHB/bchlib/bCHPreFileIO.ml#L183-L191

Thank you! This is a very good thing, to get rid of the java dependency.

This way users don't need to install java to run us. Jar is just a zip file so the change is purely cosmetic:
zipby default creates archives so no need for any command line optionszipdoesn't have an equivalent option tojar -Cso instead we tellsubprocessto run the zip command from the folder we were passing to
jar -C.The ocaml side may be more of a rabbit hole, which then may extend to the other analyzers.
