What is JAR file?
A JAR file is an archive file that contains one or more compressed computer files. The JAR file extension is used by Java-based applications to package class libraries, images, sounds, and other resources. A JAR file seems to be a compressed folder containing one or more files. The first thing you need to do after downloading the .JAR file is unzip it. After you unzip it, you will notice that it extracts all the contents of the .JAR into a new folder with the same name as the .JAR.
