    Find the author of the code and ask for a copy.

    You can view the contents of a jar file by using a zipfile utility to open the file.

    One way is to rename the jar file by adding the extension: .zip and then double clicking on the file. If your system is setup to open zip files, the file should open in a zip file utility.

    If you are using eclipse, you can simply add the jar file into your project. After adding the jar file, you will be able to view the source code.
