Task 322: .JAV File Format

File Format Specifications for .JAV

Based on available information, the .JAV file format is a Java source code file. It is a plain text file containing source code written in the Java programming language, similar to files with the .java extension. It can be compiled using the Java compiler (javac) into bytecode (.class files). The format has no binary structure or magic header; it is simply text, typically encoded in UTF-8 or ASCII. The content must conform to the Java Language Specification (available at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se21/html/index.html). Associated MIME type is text/x-java-source. Files with this extension are rare in practice, as .java is the standard extension.

List of all the properties of this file format intrinsic to its file system:

  • File name
  • File path
  • File size (in bytes)
  • Creation time
  • Last modification time
  • Last access time
  • File permissions (e.g., read, write, execute for owner, group, others)
  • Owner
  • Group

Two direct download links for files of format .JAV:
After extensive searching, no public files with the exact .JAV extension were found, as it is a rare variant. Since .JAV files are functionally identical to .java files (both are plain text Java source code), here are two direct download links to sample .java files that can be renamed to .jav if needed:
