I have jar file. how to extract a jar in java.

[travishein]

the jar command might only come with the java development kit (JDK), and might not the come with the runtime (JRE). so if you don't have the JDK installed, go get that.

and then jar xf $filename

oh, i misinterpreted, programatically in code, the java.util.jar.* package contains objects and utilities for reading the sections in a jar file.

see also: JarFiles (java.util.jar.*)
