JarEditor is a VS Code extension for browsing and editing JAR files directly in Explorer.
It lets you inspect archive contents, edit text entries, open .class files as decompiled Java source, add or delete entries, and build changes back into the original JAR.
Features

JarEditor view in Explorer
- Open and edit regular text entries inside a JAR
- Open
.class files as decompiled Java source
- Recompile modified
.class files when saving
- Add new files, classes, and directories from the context menu
- Delete files or directories from a JAR
- Build edited output back into the original archive
Usage
- Open a workspace that contains one or more JAR files.
- Find them in the
JarEditor view in Explorer.
- Open any entry to inspect or edit it.

.class files to compile them.
- Use
Build Jar to merge compiled output back into the source JAR.
