    JAR:Java Archive FIle
    Used to merge together classes/packages into a single file,which is actually compressed.This file may be viewed as such or extracting its contents.

    Technically, it's just a ZIP archive, with the additional META-INF file in the right location, containing a bit of additional info about the file's contents.
