Question about jar functionality

I have a jar with a bunch of classes in it, and they were compiled with specific class paths on another machine. I want to add another class to this jar, so I extracted the files and added my class and repacked the jar, under the same file structure. I assume that doing this has zero effect on any of the other classes in that jar. So when I put the jar back into the system, the other classes should still work fine, correct? In short, I'm wondering if packing classes into jar has any effect on classpaths.

As long as you use the same manifest file, same package structure, and all the same classes, then you can really add any other files that you want.The original JAR classes likely won't be aware of them however, and your jar can still only have one main class.
