Unpack a war file to a destination folder

Question

I know how to simply unzip a zip file to destination folder, just type the following command line in terminal:

unzip file.zip -d /folder/destination

Obviously -d option points out the destination folder, but I doesn't work for jar command line. Command line 'jar -vxf file.war' will extract file.war to the current folder, but command line 'jar -vxf file.war -d /folder/destination' does nothing, which means there is nothing generated under folder destination.

Is it possible to set the destination folder for jar command line.

Solution

Jar file is zip file. You can extract it with zip.
