Hi!

I might be late on replying, but have a look at the following
information.

'.war' was created by Sun Microsystems, its a 'Web ARchive', similar
to the Java ARchive.

To know more about WAR;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_WAR_(file_format)

For extraction, visit the links below;
1. http://jspwiki.org/wiki/WAR
2. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=774453&messageID=9721537

Hope this might help.

Thanks for posting!

Don't you have any decency.

Who the hell gave you the right to copy the
already present posted message and re-post it again?

Grow Up!
