      Gene, I'm under the impression that a jar is a glorified zip file;
     
     
Basically, it is.

      is there any benefit in making a tar.gz of it?
     
     
Yes, for broken browsers (if used for DL) that will attempt to open
the file in a window because they have no clue what a .jar is. Most
browsers should know how to handle .tar.gz by now. I would just use
wget and not worry about the extension but I realize not everyone
does things the way I do.

Could also use .zip extension in place of .jar (I think, haven't
tried that so going on anecdotal mention) but that might be a wee bit
confusing to some who would DL and attempt to unzip it.
