public class JarFile
extends ZipFile
```
The JarFile class is used to read the contents of a jar file from any file that can be opened with java.io.RandomAccessFile. It extends the class java.util.zip.ZipFile with support for reading an optional Manifest entry. The Manifest can be used to specify meta-information about the jar file and its entries.
Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.
