java

I am using an LGPL library in my code. For my needs, I need to modify the code in the library.

How do I mark the jar file that it contains modified code? Some txt file in the jar? In that case, what do I write in the txt file?

I will include in the license agreement that we are distributing a modified version of the jar, but my question is about marking the jar itself.
