What is it supposed to do?
Re: Help with .jar files - Seacrest - 04-06-2009
Depends.
.jar files are java archives.
Sometimes they are executable, sometimes just containers for code or other resources.
Sometimes they can be run via /Applications/Utilities/Java/Applet Launcher.
Sometimes they go into /Library/Java/Extensions so you can run other code that depends on the code in the jar.
Where is this particular jar file from?
