| <question>Is the rar file generated by the maven-rar-plugin is the same with the rar file(compressed file) of WinRar?</question> |
| <answer> |
| <p> |
| No. They are entirely different from each other. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A Resource Adapter Archive (RAR) file is a Java archive (JAR) file used to package a resource adapter for the Java 2 Connector (J2C) Architecture |
| <br/> |
| <br/> |
| A RAR file can contain the following: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Enterprise information system (EIS) supplied resource adapter implementation code in the form of JAR files or other runnable components, such as dynamic link lists.</li> |
| <li>Utility classes.</li> |
| <li>Static documents, such as HTML files, images, and sound files.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| While RAR(Roshal ARchive) is the native format of WinRAR archiver. Like other archives, RAR files |
| are data containers, they store one or several files in the compressed form. |
| After you downloaded RAR file from Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use it. |
