Re: how to convert JAR file to source code

["Dwayne A. Ghant" <dghant () temple edu>]

jar files use the same compression  algorithm  as zip does.
with that said a jar is really a zip or vice versa. lol

jar files are usually library files that maintain a directory
class structure for java applications. There may be more
than one api inside that jar file.

Now if you meant that you would like to decompile .class files
then that's a different story. Here's the tool that I use:

cavaj java Decompiler 1.11

Just google for a good free java decompiler.
