Not so very long ago, I was going through much sturm und drang trying to figure out how to update non-Java bits of JAva apps. As in, I just want to update a graphic. I just want to change this bit of XML that I know is responsible for this bit of text. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out java.util.jar and the intricacies of jar xf. Meaning, how do I decompile, edit the asset and recompile this sucker? Manifests? I’m glad of the allies I went down, but the answer for the non-Javanese is remarkable simple.
JAR is ZIP and ZIP is JAR.
