Your jar syntax appears to be incorrect ... it should be 'jar -xf 
/tmp/jdom-1.0.zip' ... the 'f' flag tells jar to extract the files from 
the specified archive.

Also, I don't think you'll find the files in the /tmp directory anyway 
... jar extracts files to the current directory, not the directory 
contained in the classpath environment variable.

Since it's turkey day, I don't have ready access to an iSeries to verify

this.  I did, however, check on my PC's jar command.
