Hi friends

is it possible to program a app that open a .jar file?

Since nobody else jumped on this-- I ~think~ a .jar file is just a .zip file with a different extension. If you can find a way to open a .zip, you can open a .jar-- try it and see anyway, or wait for someone more certain to respond. :)

Yes you can just open .jar's with a zip program to see its contents, or run it with "java -jar <file.jar>".

Do you want to import the jar in your monkey project? It might be possible for Android target

@minke: ...or run it with "java -jar <file.jar>".

Only if the Jar's Manifest has a "Main-Class:" property.
