I am trying to extract the JBoss source code and am running into a brick wall. I have downloaded the "jboss-3.0.8-src.gz" file via links on Source Forge. I have then tried using winzip and gzip to extract the file (jboss-3.0.8-src). The extract process seems to run ok with no errors reported, but I am left with a file that is about 50 megs that I don't know what to do with.
I have tried giving the jboss-3.0.8-src file a ".zip" extention but winzip does not know what to do with it when I do this. I also tried pulling the file from several mirror sites as well as a different version of the source(3.0.6) but no luck.
Does anyone know how to get at the source files from here? I feel silly for needing to ask this question, but any other source code I have pulled down extracts as a bunch of ".java" files within a directory hierarchy that matches the package names.
I am running under Windows 2000, Service pack 2 and using Winzip 8 if this makes a difference.
Thank you to anyone who has some ideas!

Please disregard. It has been pointed out to me that this is a tar file and needs to be renamed with a ".tar" extension.
Thanks!
