A

To list all files in a JAR file, you can use the "jar -tf" command. For example:

\fyicenter>"%java_home%\bin\jar" -tf jms.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
javax/
javax/jms/
javax/jms/BytesMessage.class
javax/jms/Connection.class
javax/jms/ConnectionConsumer.class
javax/jms/ConnectionFactory.class
javax/jms/ConnectionMetaData.class
...

As you can see, the "jar -tf" command lists all folders and files in the specified JAR file.
