In general, a "seasoned Java programmer" would expect "foo-dah-lily.jar" to be suitable for insertion into the classpath, and "foo-dah-lily-source.jar" (or "...sources.jar") to contain the source files. Hence the word "source[s]" in the JAR name. Logical, huh? > look inside them with WinZip. Presumably sources contains .java files > and the other .class files. WinZip? What if he's not using Windows? Oh, if only there were a cross-platform tool for manipulating, creating, and examing JAR files. We could call it - let's see now, something that lets you know it's for JAR files - hmm - for JAR files ... I know! We can call it "jar"! And Oracle could ship it as a standard part of the JDK! And they would document it at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jar/index.html and related pages! Then the OP could RTFM! -- Lew
