[Bluej-discuss] mac to windows zip

[Colleen Penrowley]

Thanks Ian!  My experiment with "Create Jar File" shows it zips the project 
but does not include the folder. Can I configure it?

The Submitter extension looks very interesting, but we use WebCT for 
assignment submission. The students upload their zipped files using the 
WebCT assignment tool. Then I or my assistant can download them all at once 
for marking.
