Reverse engineering archived .jar or .zip files
Each .jar or .zip file contains definitions of one or several classes. These files
can often contain large numbers of class definitions.
A .jar file is a compressed file type that contains one or several Java class
definitions. When you reverse engineer a .jar file, PowerDesigner creates a
class for each class definition in the .jar file.
A .zip file can contain one or several Java class files, as well as other files.
When you reverse engineer a .zip file, only the Java class files are reversed.
Information stored in other files is not reversed and is totally discarded.
