It is recommended to use Eclipse to handle this file. This is a program created by The Eclipse Foundation.

How to open JARDESC file?

The main problem with Eclipse JAR Settings is that the JARDESC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file JARDESC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JARDESC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Eclipse

The first step is to check if the computer has the Eclipse program installed. To do this, enter the name Eclipse into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JARDESC files.

Programs to open JARDESC file

Remember to download programs supporting JARDESC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with JARDESC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JARDESC file to open in the Eclipse application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Eclipse application as the default for handling the JARDESC file.

Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Eclipse program, it is possible that Eclipse JAR Settings requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the The Eclipse Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JARDESC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JARDESC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JARDESC file. Sometimes virus-infected JARDESC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JARDESC file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JARDESC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Eclipse Foundation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JARDESC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the JARDESC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JARDESC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
