Hey everyone. I recently tried to Jar my Java program to make it an executable to quickly show others. I ran it with a manifest file like I have done before but this time it seems something went wrong. I created the Jar file and can run it with no problems but my Java file has become unreadable almost as if it was encrypted.

I use Jcreator and other tools, and even with notepad the Java program shows only ASCII characters. The file is still there (11kb) and if I run it from cmd line using java filename, it runs with no problem. Could someone tell me what I did, and if its possible to reverse this. If I unjar the Jar file, its the same way.

Thanks,
Heath
