you cannot edit code just like that, explain what exactly you want to edit. is this text (in-game dialogs) or something else?

I refer to open the jar file in a notepad or any text editor.
To change the code of the app u will need to be a proffesional software guy .but still then u can modify some of the features .I also refer you to open the .jad file in notepad for more info . |

i can modify the source code because i have a good background in c++ and java programming. i'm just not only familiar with jar and jad files and that's the reason why i'm asking what editor can i use to edit it. |

JAR is nothing more than zip archive. use any extractor to get access to all files inside archive. to decompile code use this tool: http://www.kpdus.com/jad.html. remember that code might be obfuscated, so your code won't be nice, it will be very ugly but still possible to reverse or edit and ready for next compilation (if decompiled without problems)

Java development kit? Maybe? Not 100% sure. You can extract the .jar file with WinRAR and then use some java development software to edit it. Then you can put the file back in the "archive" the .jar file opnened with WinRAR.

there are some people who were able to edit jar files but i really don't know what did they use. some of the things that i wanna modify are:
first: the name of the application after installing the jar file
second: the network settings of an application so that i can use that specific application for free without being charged by our network provider
i know how to do that but i don't know what editor will i use. |

everytime i extract a jar file, it shows me the class files and also the icon of the application to be installed. everytime i try to open a class file in notepad, it shows me special characters. i want to know how to access the source codes by decompling it. |

The source codes are always special charecters,and each charecter has special meaning or value .
Its very different from normal java and c language .
One needs to have knowledge of java (j2me) programming in order to modify the source codes. |
