A jar file is a Java ARchive, not a tarball that can be extracted. You can install jar or java and extract the files (or use 7-Zip), but you can't extract them with tar.

bsdtar (which is the regular tar(1) on FreeBSD, and easily installable on Linux) can extract .jars transparently, and a lot of other archive formats.
.jars are basically .zip files.
