How to open a jar file?

Hey Robbie Lucas!

.Jar file is basically used for mobiles. All those mobiles which are java enabled, used .jar format of the applications. If you want to open these files on the computer then you must have WinRAR installed on your computer. If you do not have WinRAR then download it from the internet and install it on your computer. Once you installed it, rename the .jar file as .zip. For example you have to change ABC.jar to ABC.rar. After renaming it you will be able to see the contents of jar file with the help of WinRAR.

Alternatively you can use Java Runtime Environment that will run .jar file in your computer.

If you do not have Java Runtime Environment, you can install it from the internet.

Thanks
