Jar files	by Grey Peter	2003-04-17 12:34:39
it's apples and oranges. Zip files are compressed, but have to be uncompressed to be used. Jar files are in a format that Java understands and they are the standard method of distributing compiled java code. What your professor is asking you for is zipped source code (I would assume). When someone has a jar file they have the compiled byte code in an archive, not the source. Hence the original user's request for "how do I get the source code out of a jar". Unzipping it may get you the individual class files, but not the source code. When you finish school and/or start working as a java programmer you will use jar, trust me.
