title: Where is jar.exe in Java Development Kit?
body: <p>I downloaded and installed JDK from <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html?ssSourceSiteId=otnes" rel="noreferrer">Java SE Development Kit 7 Downloads</a>
  in "c:\jdk.1.7.0", set variable path to "c:\jdk.1.7.0", but using command for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jar xvf ..\src.zip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Gives me this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm reading Core Java volume 1 (9th edition). So here it stated to run firstly command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>javac -version
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I got that same error. And in bin directory there were no javac.exe too, but I found java.exe and it worked. So does jar.exe is also changed to some another name or it somewhere else? It seems strange that this book is released this year and even names of files do not match in newest version or am I missing something here?..</p>
  
  <p>P.S. I'm using windows 7 64 bit.</p>
  
  <p>using command:</p>
  
  <p><code>echo %PATH%</code></p>
  
  <p>retuns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%CommonPr
