jar to zip and back to jar
Hello
How do I open and close a .Jar file?
I tried opening it with 7zip and using an online site to copy the zip file back into the jar, but after that it stopped working.
I wanted to look at the files just out of interest 🙂

It doesn't work like that. What you are trying is to decompress it, but the file was compiled from the source code into the byte code it is
Is there a program for this?
I want to test something 🙂
for what? for compiling?
from jar to zip (or similar) and back to jar again.
or can i edit jar directly with a program?
There are some programms, but I'm not sure if and how they work. They are called Java decompilers. You would need to compile it, to make it into a .jar file again. But I really wouldn't recommend that, you can use the link above to get to the source code, which is like the zip you want
i believe you can just rename the file from .jar to .zip
jar files are just glorified zip files
right click, open with WinRar and I can view the jar file like an open zip, swap files and it remains a jar
The renaming thing was a good idea, but it didn't work for me, but I found out how to do it during testing.
case solved, thank you very much
