These file extensions don't seem to have anything at all to do with
Java. Where did you "come across" this, and what is it? That might
provide some clues as to the questions you're asking. Perhaps the
deployment product you found defines and uses those file extensions?
There aren't very many file extensions that are java related. Unless
I've missed something, a fairly complete list would be .java, .class,
.jar, .war, .ear, .jsp, .jnlp, .jad, and questionably .properties
(although nothing but a very loose convention really defines the latter
as an extension). You might include .mf, but it's really part of a
complete filename (/META-INF/Manifest.mf), and there are no general-
purpose uses of that extension, so I don't consider it a specific
extension. There are also a number of other extensions that are even
more loosely associated with stuff... a lot of struts actions are mapped
to ".do", for example, and JSF page references sometimes but not
necessarily use .jsf. But these aren't even to the point where I'd call
them widely recognized.

You need to add .rar, used for JCA. There are probably more to add to the list.

It is under a VMEngine directory where we have the Microchai java
virtual machine developed by HP
Does this ring a bell?

Oh, your dribbling out a few more clues I see.

If you use Google to search for
<http://www.google.com/search?q=.fdr+Microchai+jvm+HP>
Google will ask if you actually mean ..
<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c2coff=1&q=.fdr+Microchaivm+HP&spell=1>
Which is little different since it produces the same hit.
(A PDF - whcih I did not look at).
If that fails to produce your answer, you might try..

(ba-bing) Search the manufaturer's site.

.sar for Service Archive, at least used by JBoss JMX "plugins" and
probably other JMX containers.
