What do you need to download to make a .jar file

In order to make a jar file you have to run a command in the "jar utility." Which it sounded like was just the command prompt. Yeah it's not. if you try the command prompt will just say "jar" is not recognized as an internal or external command. I thought it was gonna say that but it was worth a try. So is there some sort of command line program that i have to download or what?

thanks, lateralus

As far as I know, the only way to get jar.exe is to download the JDK. You can go up to the top of the page here and look at Downloads.
