Java archive file containing {Java} {class} files, filename extension: ".jar". The {Java Development Kit} contains a tool called "jar" for creating .jar files, similar to the standard {Unix} {tar} command. As well as archiving and compressing the Java class files, it also inserts a "manifest" file which can contain information about the class files, such as a {digital signature}. Combining class files into a single archive file makes it possible to download them in a single {HTTP} transaction. This, and the {compression}, speeds up execution of Java programs delivered via the {Internet}. (2001}-02-03) | |
