file extension JAR - Compressed archive file package for Java classes and data
File extension JAR description:
The JavaTM Archive (JAR) file format enables you to bundle multiple files into a single archive file. Typically a JAR file contains the class files and auxiliary resources associated with applets and applications.
The JAR file format provides many benefits:
Security: You can digitally sign the contents of a JAR file. Users who recognize your signature can then optionally grant your software security privileges it wouldn't otherwise have.
Decreased download time: If your applet is bundled in a JAR file, the applet's class files and associated resources can be downloaded to a browser in a single HTTP transaction without the need for opening a new connection for each file.
Compression: The JAR format allows you to compress your files for efficient storage.
Packaging for extensions: The extensions framework provides a means by which you can add functionality to the Java core platform, and the JAR file format defines the packaging for extensions. Java 3D™ and JavaMail™ are examples of extensions developed by SunTM.
By using the JAR file format, you can turn your software into extensions as well.
Package Sealing: Packages stored in JAR files can be optionally sealed so that the package can enforce version consistency. Sealing a package within a JAR file means that all classes defined in that package must be found in the same JAR file.
Package Versioning: A JAR file can hold data about the files it contains, such as vendor and version information. Portability: The mechanism for handling JAR files is a standard part of the Java platform's core API.
JAR has a similar command and option feature set to the PC archiver ARJ, but it is not archive compatible with ARJ. JAR comes in a 16 bit DOS version and a 32 bit Windows version. This format is unrelated to the Sun .JAR archive format.
