when i unzip a rar file that is supposed to have a jar file it extracts all the files seperately. How can i get a jar file that i can install on my 6630 easily, or is there a simpler way?
please forgive my lack of technical knowledge

cheers

A .jar file is really a .zip file, but with a different extension.

Anyway, if you would buy a legal copy of the Java app, it would be in the correct format (legitimate sources don't tend to distribute software they sell as .rar files, but as .sis or .jar, sometimes .zip).
