No need to extract any class files from the JAR.
Just put the JAR on your class path.

JCE 1.2 *beta* will be made available very shortly, which takes
advantage of the extensions mechanism in JDK 1.2 beta 4 (which
went out 2 days ago).

Please check JCE's new install instructions (once they're up
on our web site), which explain how to use the JCE JAR file as a
"bundled" or "installed" extension.
