jar.exe is more designed for building jars than exploring them. WinZip
works on jars and lets you explore and selectively extract visually.
Granted it only works Windows, and the latest version 17 is suffering
so badly from irrelevant featuritis I refused to upgrade.

He could also use JarLook  http://mindprod.com/products1.html#JARLOOK
if he just want a quick idea of what was in there

Jar files are for all practical purposes also ZIP files, so he could
use the Unix analog of WinZip. I don't think you would find many Unix
users as raw as OP.  My guess he is a newbie Windows user.

Why the implication I had never heard of jar.exe?  You know that is
not true.  Please just give your excellent advice without feeling
compelled to decorate it with a putdown.
