In Linux (and most unices, so also BSD - but I don't know what OS X does) 
you can use the 'unzip' command line utility as well as 'jar' to test the 
jar file, list its contents or extract files from it. 

Alternatively, in most Linuxes, clicking on the .jar file in the File 
Manager window will start an Archive Manager so you can review, extract  
and/or view the contents of files in the archive. In Fedora that is 
Xarchiver and the file associations default to using it open jar files.
