Top-posting strikes again...
The Mac OS X Finder uses the .DS_Store files to store preferences for
the display of its windows opened for a given directory; when none is
present, it falls back to defaults. Unless someone opens a Finder
window into one of the directories that will ultimately be copied into
the new jar file, there's no reason one should ever get created there.
There *must* be one pre-existing or otherwise copied into the locations
that are being included in the jar file.
I don't know what process you might be using to compile your code and
build your jar file. When we're building for a release, the class files
are placed in separate location from the source, and it's created from
scratch. The process is thus completely immune to the possibility of
..DS_Store files ending up in the resulting directory, and then in the
jar file built from it.
