I am trying to update a java archive.
I have a directory Packages, which has a subdirectory BVUtility.
In that BVUtility are some .class files (wanted), as well as some other files
(not wanted).

If I execute the following command, the archive tool correctly adds all files in
the BVUtility directory to the archive:

jar uvf xyz.jar -C Packages BVUtility

These files will not have a \Packages directory, but they will have a \BVUtility
directory, which is what I want.

However, in that BVUtility directory, I have files other than .class files. I do
not want these files in the .jar. So I try this

jar uvf xyz.jar -C Packages BVUtility/*.class

Ands it fails with

Packages\BVUtility\*.class : no such file or directory
java.io.IOException: Error in writing existing jar file
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:179)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)

Although there are indeed .class files in that directory.

This seems like something MANY people would like to do if they are using
packages extensively.

It is somewhat related to Bug 4193358, but not quite the same.
