Need help with a .JAR file...

Ok, there's this *.jar file which I used to have. I extracted the files from it with WinRAR just to see what was inside but, me being the idiot I am, I forgot to uncheck 'Delete files after extraction' so now I have a bunch of files (all *.dat I think) and two or three folders (META-INF or something).

So can anyone please tell me how to 're-compress' or 'merge' or 'convert' these files into a single *.jar file? I tried compressing them into *.zip and renaming the extension to *.jar but I remember the actual *.jar being 800kb or something but the *.zip/jar file is 1.1mb.

Help?

Seriously? No one??

Make a new Windows compressed .zip folder, place your files etc. in that .zip folder. Change the extension to .jar. I know it's the same info as you posted, but I used to do it that way years back with Firefox

But the thing is, I know I should have mentioned this in my post, the thing is that it's a mobile application. You know, a mobile game in *.jar format. And my mobile doesn't accept any application which is more than 1mb.

If all the data in that file could be compressed into 800kb in *.jar format, and if *.jar is nothing but a renamed *.zip, then why is it that the *.zip file is 1.1mb?

Hello!

You are sure no extra files have crept in? Otherwise, you could quickly give Shadow Explorer a go. ShadowExplorer.com - About

Just navigate to the location, find the .jar, right click on it, export.

It works very well. I have used it once or twice.

Give it a whorl!

Anyway, thank you!

Thanks everybody, but I just found the original *.jar file in a backup drive! Once again, thanks for all your help!

Oh btw, has anyone here heard of the mjBook application?
