JAX: A Jar file with a *.jax instead of *.jar extension. It contains a special entry in the manifest to tell which class file in the jar is the main one. A JAX file can be directly executed, just like a *.exe file with the appropriate associations. In JDK 1.2 you can execute jar files directly.
JAX is also the name of IBM's jar packaging tool that compacts the files by obfuscating names.
