JAR is a framework used to group different classes of java files (programs and software) and other resources and data related to it (images, texts, etc). Thus, their further easy distribution across the java platform has been simplified and became more user friendly.

Jar Launcher Mac Install
Jar Launcher is the program in Mac OS X that launches JavaJAR files into the Aqua/Java runtime environment when the JAR file is double clicked. Jar Launcher also launches a class in the same manner. Jar Launcher does not execute the Java files itself, rather it passes them to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with any appropriate parameters. Java programs without any GUI should be run from the command line as they may not properly execute without a pseudo terminal. Jar Launcher is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/Jar Launcher.app
as part of Apple Computer's Java implementation, installed by default on Mac OS X (not from 10.11 - see link[clarification needed]).
