The `jar` tool's extract operation has been enhanced to allow the `--dir` or the `-C` options to be used to specify the directory where the archive will be extracted.

**Example Usages:**

`jar -xf foo.jar -C /tmp/bar/`

or

`jar --extract --file foo.jar --dir /tmp/bar/`


Either of these commands will extract the `foo.jar` to the `/tmp/bar` directory.
