[67cat] Meaning of "distilling" a jar during build?

by Thorsen Eric :: Rate this Message:

I have a module that refers to the org-netbeans-modules-lexer.jar.
When I look in this jar in:
Netbeans 6.7 RC3.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/ide11/modules/org-
netbeans-modules-lexer.jar
I see lots of classes in the org/netbeans/lib.lexer directory within
the jar. During the build of my module, I see the message:
[parseprojectxml] Distilling /Users/ericthor/Dev/enclojure-nb-clojure-
plugin/org.enclojure.ide.nb.clojure_plugin_suite/
org.enclojure.ide.nb.editor/build/public-package-jars/org-netbeans-
modules-lexer.jar from [/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 6.7 RC3.app/
Contents/Resources/NetBeans/ide11/modules/org-netbeans-modules-
lexer.jar]

When I look at the resulting org-netbeans-modules-lexer.jar in the
build/public-package-jars directory there is only 1 class in the org/
netbeans/lib/lexer dir as well as the manifest missing and I assume
some other differences.

What is happening during the distillation phase?

Thanks,
Eric
