Apps Need help Modifying a file within a JAR

[StackReject]

I have a JAR comprised of java and class files. It is my understanding that the JAR is an executable library comprised of the .class files within. I need to open one of these class folders change a few things and reinsert it into the jar. i am on linux and i have been at this all day to no avail.

Unless you use a decompiler to decompile the jar and then recompile after editing (not necessarily legal), you cant get the source files from a Jar
