WebContent

|->META-INF
|->WEB-INF
        |
        |->key.txt

Solution

Finally i got answer, for this i used.

mkdir c:/WEB-INF
cd WEB-INF
xcopy D:/key.txt C:/WEB-INF
jar uvf app.war /WEB-INF/key.txt

No need of unzipping and again zipping.

James cp command is not working I try with cp and also xcopy.

How about copy? I'll grab a Windows box in a little while and correct my answer.
