Find out how the program was built/compiled from the .jar file?

[Akino877]

Hello,

I have a directory of Java code and a .jar file. I can run this .jar file as intented. But, I do not have any information/instruction as how to compile/build the .jar file.

I wonder if there is a way to use the .jar file to find out how the program and the .jar file were compiled, built, and put together?

Thank you for your help.

Akino.
