How do I open a JAR file?

[KingNothing]

I have Sun's Java 1.4 SDK and JRE installed, and I have this jar file, but double-clicking it does nothing. I thought JAR files were self-executing?

Apparently they're like zip files.

Thanks! Already had it, but the file type wasn't associated. Who opens a jar with a can opener? You open cans with can openers.

No, like dll's and vxd's they are used by an executable file, that file could be a browser or a program made to utilize those files....

And yes, if you run them in a java environment they are self-executing....

type:
jar xvf <filename.jar>
with your java executables in the path.
