The easiest way to do it is this:

# Find the file inside the jar
jar tvf <JarFile> | grep xml | less

# Extract your file
jar xvf <JarFile> <FilePath> 

# Edit your file

# Replace updated file in your jar
jar uvf <JarFile> <UpdatedFileWithSameName>

yes you can do that. Make dir where you want to try the below commands. Go to that dir and try:

>cd <to_your_dir>
>jar -xvf <jar_file_path_with_name>

This will extract the jar out. Change the file that you want to change and jar it back:

>jar -cvf <out_jar_file_name> *

Make sure you are running this from with in the folder where you extracted the jar. you can verify the contents structure by running below command on both the jars:

>jar -tvf <jar_file_name>
