Frontend for jar-archives?

[Patrick]

Hi,

is there a good frontend for jar-archives, like winzip for zip-files?
I'm using Linux and Ark for looking in jar-files. But Ark does not support
jar-files very well

I searched the web and already found 2 frontends for working with jar-files.

Jarminator http://www.weird173.net/java/jarminator.html
JarSpy http://www.jarspy.org

But in my opinion both have some restrictions!

Does anyone know a good program for handling jar-archives?
The program must run under Linux and ideally is written in Java

Happy Easter!

Patrick

Me personally only use ant and command line. Easy enough for my
purposes.

jar cvf archive.jar *.class

Install Midnight Commander (mc).
It is a command line filemanager, that allows you to enter/work with
archives (*.zip, *.jar, ...) very easily.

But since a jar file is no different from a zip file (only the extension is
different), Ark shouldn't have problems reading jar files.

Jars are just zips with a different extension. WinZip will open a jar
file with no problem.

Probably easiest is to rename the file a .zip and then work on it with konqueror,
renaming it back to .jar when you're finished.

Incidentally,
$ java -jar myprog.zip
works just fine.
