Jar files are really just zip files, and you can browse them from within Vim simply by treating them the same as Vim treats zip files.

If you want to figure out how to do this yourself, simply read :help new-filetype and zipPlugin.vim in your runtime/plugins directory.

For impatient people, just place the following in a file named ~/.vim/ftdetect/jar.vim (if you're on Unix):

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.jar,*.war,*.ear,*.sar,*.rar set filetype=zip

If you Vim a jar file now, you'll be able to browse it.

-Hi all,
-I got a problem using this tip on Win 2k with VIM 7.0 . When I use the described script in my ~\vimfiles\ftdetect directory and then want to vim a jar file, I get an error about "(zip&#35;Browse) unzip is unavailable on your system". How to get rid of this? I start with the batch file deployed in the %windir% directory. And yes, Windows has no native ~ directory, but vim maintains one.
-Oh, before I forget, my unzipper is TugZIP (http://www.tugzip.com), because it knows almost any archive type. It even knows tar, which is pretty unlikely for a Windows program.
-tia and cu,
