JAR stands for Java ARchive. You should search google for resources on writing Java games for mobile phones.

I don't know a lot about writing for mobile games, and I've never compiled a "Hello World" or anything of the sort for mobile applications, but here's what I know:

There are two main API's used by cell phones.. BREW (an API for C++) and J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition, a small version of Java). You mentioned JAR (Java Archive), so your phone must use J2ME. Look for tutorials on that.

Of course, that probably means you'll need to learn Java if you haven't done so already. So.. learn Java before you try this out.

In my experience a .jar is just a zip archive. If you have a .jar from a program that runs on your platform, unzip it with winzip and take a look at what's inside.

Hi
As said JAR is a format for grouping and compressing files together but yet can be executed.
To write a game in java for J2ME you need to have good knowledge in java and programming in general.
See these articles to know how to design and implement simple java game for J2ME.
