If you think about it exe's are handled the same way. the command
interpreter looks up the extension and hands it off to a loader that
analyses the exe header, which loads the program and finally hands off
execution to it. The exe file format is data to the loader to
construct an in-ram program. It is full of stuff besides machine
code.
What a jar does is not much different, or even a *.doc for that
matter.
