I do it by myself and it works good. But you did not need a JAR-File to
ann a library to JBuilder. You can specify also the path to sources and
classes.

IMHO  the main purpose to use a JAR-File is to create runable
application.
In the manifest file you can specify a class, which is started if the
JAR-File will be excecuted. The compressing algorithm is the same as
zip.
You can use your WinZip to extract class files from a JAR-File.
