JAR, or Java Archives, are executable Java programs by the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).Please note that MConverter cannot create an executable program if the provided source archive file was not a compiled program for the same platform. When converting from JAR to another format, MConverter only extracts the contents of the JAR file. It does not make it installable in another format.
