I'm using Araxis Merge to try and compare two java archive files. I've done it in Beyond Compare but have recently switched to a mac. Right now Araxis treats the jars like files and i just see a lot of binary/hex stuff, I'd like to see which classes have differences and to treat the jar like a folder. Any ideas?
A:
A JAR file is basically a zip file with a different extension.
Araxis merge can't compare the content inside a zip file.

A:
Decompress the contents of the archive to folders, and diff the folders
