Jar means java archive files. It is very much similar to zip file. There is no difference in zip file and jar file. The need of the jar file is we can open the jar file in any platform. We can open the jar file in any platform. but we can't open the zip file in some platforms. That's why java people introduced jar files.
War file is especially for web applications. This file is used to deploy the webapplication in webserver.

jar files usually will java class files and maybe some config files.. acts like a include library.. files referenceable by your application if the file is in the classpath..
war files usually contains a web application ..i.e a servlet with jsp files, classes and stuff..

jar is java archive files . all java classes bundled in a jar file.
There is manifest.xml which specifies the main class.
war is web archive and is deployed in web server. web-xml is there which does the same thing as manifest.
