“jar” command line tool is used to create or list contents of a jar file. In a Java program it is
also possible to edit contents of a jar file. In “java.util.jar” package there are five ways to
create a JAR file using JarFile.

JarFile(File file) .
JarFile(File file, boolean verify) .
JarFile(File file, boolean verify, int mode) .
JarFile(String name) .
JarFile(String name, boolean verify) .
The default is to verify the file when “verify” flag is not specified. The mode setting

Is created with the help of two class constants “OPEN_READ” or “OPEN_READ |
OPEN_DELETE”.

If “OPEN_DELETE” is set, the file is flagged for deletion by the system.

There are two key classes of the API.

JarFile.
JarEntry.
The JarFile class provides a reference to the whole JAR file, While the
JarEntry class points to each of the files contained within the JAR.

A Simple Example of using JarFile:

JarFile jar = new JarFile ("myjar.jar");After getting a reference to a JAR file, list of entries
can be obtained with the help of “entries” method. This method returns an Enumeration of
JarEntry objects. For each JarEntry object, Specific information about the entry can be
obtained by API (eg. “getSize () “method). It is important that most of the methods are
inherited from the parent “ZipEntry” class.Run the following program to list contents of a
“Jar” file. It takes name of jar/zip file as command line argument and list contents of jar files.

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.util.jar.*;

public class ShowJarContents {

public static void main(String args[]) {

for (int count=0, n=args.length; count<n;>

try {

showJar(args[count]);

} catch (IOException e) {

System.err.println("Errors In reading: " + args[count]);

}

}

}

private static void showJar(String name)

throws IOException {

System.out.println("Jar: " + name);

JarFile jar = new JarFile(name);

Enumeration e = jar.entries();

while (e.hasMoreElements()) {

listInfo((JarEntry)e.nextElement());

}

System.out.println();

}

private static void listInfo(JarEntry entry) {

System.out.println("n" + entry.getName());

}

}</n;>

following program used to List all file names in a jar file............

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.jar.JarEntry;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;

public class MainClass {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

JarFile jf = new JarFile(args[0]);
Enumeration e = jf.entries();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
JarEntry je = (JarEntry) e.nextElement();
String name = je.getName();
System.out.println(name);
}
}
}
