What is JAR file?
The JAR (Java Archive) file extension is associated with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). It is a platform independent file format used to combine multiple class files and associated metadata time into one file for distribution. JAR files are not dependent on any specific hardware or operating system, and can be used in any Java environment. It works like a ZIP file, by compressing more than one files into a single unit for easier management and storage. [ ⏩ ] JAR file extension
What is SISX file?
The SISX file extension is a type of compressed component used by the Symbian OS mobile operating system. It is capable of storing all type of installation packages like .app, .sis, .exe, .jar, and proprietary applications. SISX files can be either local or over-the-air installation package, designed to install or update existing applications on mobile phones. [ ⏩ ] SISX file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from JAR to SISX?
To successfully convert the JAR file to SISX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.JAR). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SISX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than SISX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. JAR to SISX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting JAR files to SISX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SISX, while before this step we had the JAR file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SISX file, or not.
