Jar Explorer

http://jarbrowser.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jarbrowser/



I recently had an encounter with the JarBrower s/w on the sourceforge.net and that was which could help me a lot at time.
A give a simple explanation a jar browser is something very simmilliar to that of a winzip.With winzip you can browser through all the files in the zip files.Simmillarly with jar broswer you can browse through all the class files in a jar file.No just that , jar browser had a an in build jad the famous open source java decompiler with it.You can not only browse through the jar file for the class files but also see the source code with in that.
However is felt a gap in this s/w ,we can see the src in a class file, but the we are not able to see the other simple text files like xml, properties file in the browser.Also we cannot view the images.I feel adding this feature would make the Jar Explorer more powerful and more and more useful.
