B20 (NT) xargs creates multiple commands, not just one

[Ajit George]

This 
isn't a Cygwin issue -- I had this problem using jar under Linux as well.  
I don't remember exactly why, but I came to the conclusion that jar creates a 
new archive each time it's invoked.  It doesn't add files to existing 
archives.

    I'm trying to use a
    script using xargs
    to create a JAR file
    in java.....
     
    xargs issues multiple
    JAR commands apparently
    due to the number of files
    being passed to it.
     
    each time JAR is executed
    it clears out the previous
    files already added.
     
    i really need all the files
    included in one JAR command.
     
    is there anyway to increase whatever
    buffer is being blown which causes
    xargs to execute multiple commands?
