JAR files are usually ZIP archives [1], so you can extract them easily
with archivers/unzip or similar tools.

[1] But care must be taken to avoid `filename case folding', see [2]

The tricky part is then to find a "Java decompiler".  I've used `Mocha'
in the past with limited success, but you should probably Google for
more options.
