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

I want to test something

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

Yeshi•4/1/24, 10:02 PM

jar files are just glorified zip files

LeoOP•4/1/24, 10:16 PM

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
