public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
    if (args.length != 2) {
      System.out.println("Please provide a JAR filename and file to read");
      System.exit(-1);
    }
    JarFile jarFile = new JarFile(args[0]);
    JarEntry entry = jarFile.getJarEntry(args[1]);
    InputStream input = jarFile.getInputStream(entry);
    process(input);
    jarFile.close();
  }

  private static void process(InputStream input) throws IOException {
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(input);
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line;
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
    }
    reader.close();
  }
