public interface Jar
extends Jar

Provides an abstraction for use by the various classes that need to scan JARs. The classes provided by the JRE for accessing JARs (JarFile and JarInputStream) have significantly different performance characteristics depending on the form of the URL used to access the JAR. For file based JAR URLs, JarFile is faster but for non-file based URLs, JarFile creates a copy of the JAR in the temporary directory so JarInputStream is faster.
