    Good evening,
    To understand how the jar utility works, simply type
    $jar -help
    (provided the Java Virtual Machine is installed)
    To extract fichier.jar, type
    $jar -x fichier.jar

      Hi, a .jar archive is generally just a simple zip file renamed :)
      $ file the_file.jar
      To check the file type and
      $ unzip the_file.jar
      to unzip it, if it indeed is one :)

       ♫ It would take almost nothing...

        Decompress, it's ark.
        Decompile???
        There must be a way to recover the sources... that seems cleaner to me!
