Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention discloses an enterprise application packaging method and archive file. Applications and support components are developed by a developer, which are then included in the archive file. A revision control file indicates which files correlate to a present revision of the application package. A naming convention is applied to the application and support component files to indicate versions which correspond to each other. The archive file contains the file corresponding to the present version, as well as previous versions, as well as previous version revision control files so that, in the event of a failure or other error, the executing machine may revert to a previous version.
