I downloaded the JRE from <http://www.java.com/> and it nicely created a directory j2re1.4.2_04. now i've downloaded jedit41install.jar from <http://www.sourceforge.net> and can't figure what to do with it. I'd like to know how to un-jar (the acronym seems similar to tar) foo.jar from the command line, please.
