    Jar
    |+--.classpath
    |+--.project
    |+-- gh
    |+-- org
    |+--META-INF
    |+--Cert.ser

    I used the jar xfv command tool in decompiling the jar file...

    Default Re: How to edit .class files in Eclipse

    Class files are compiled - in other words you don't edit them, you edit the source .java files and compile those into .class files. Seems the jar you have does not contain the source code. I don't know the goal - but I'd advice against reverse engineering.
