how can I use some classes that are inside a JAR file?

i know that I can decompress the jar file and then add the classes
inside my code, but is it possible just to call the jar file inside my
classes?

thanks,

Marcelo

Here's 2 ways.
- add the jar to the classpath
- create a custom class loader that can reach
the jar and load the resources.

As an aside, noob questions are better asked on
