.Jar files

So, when I tried to download a .jar file from the internet, it just turned into a folder which did hold the actual jar so I wasn't able to run it? Do you have any idea how to either convert it to a .jar file from a folder or how to just download a .jar file in the first place?

    Hi Jae,

    A JAR (Java ARchive) is a package file format typically used to aggregate many Java class files and associated metadata and resources (text, images, etc.) into one file for distribution. JAR files are Executable Files primarily associated with JARCS Compressed Archive (JPMdL Archival System). It is also associated with JAR Archive (ARJ Software Inc.), Java Archive (Sun Microsystems Inc.), Java Applet (Sun) and FileViewPro.

    Also, JAR files are archive files that include a Java-specific manifest file. They are built on the ZIP format and typically have a .jar file extension.

    Feel free to post back should you need further help.
