A JAR (Java ARchive) file is a file that contains the class, image, and sound files for a Java application or applet gathered into a single file and possibly compressed.
When a programmer gets a Java program development kit, a small program or utility called "jar" is included.
The jar utility lets the programmer create, list, or extract the individual files from a JAR file.
The JAR format is based on the popular zip file format.
