Java classes in a .jar or .war file are normally compiled .class files (java byte code), not .java source. A .war file may also contain .jsp files, which typically do have the page source in them, which is then compiled by the servlet engine (tomcat). .Jars and particularly .war's get big because they often contain all the dependencies as well, and because a complex program takes a lot of code whether it's in source or compiled form.

Often the following will unpack a jar or war (both): jar -xf On Jan 29, 2009, at 12:45 AM, Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y) wrote: Kirk True wrote: A developer gave me just a .war file to deploy on a tomcat.

unwar and unjar an application
Hi, A developer gave me just a .war file to deploy on a tomcat. I read [w|j]ar files are just zipped. The .war contains some .jar...

How to manage that (when unarchiving _and_ re-archiving)? Well, the developper used some environment, I want to - put the code under SVN - edit it with Emacs/JDE That's why I need to get it all clear.
