Jar file Definition:
The JAR file format is a compressed format used primarily to
distribute Java applications and libraries. It is built on the ZIP file format,
and functions in a similar way; many files are compressed and packaged together
in a single file, making it easy to distribute the files over a network. If you
need to package a Java application or library, you can create a JAR file using
the Java Development Kit (JDK) and your computer's command prompt.
