No such file or directory: 'jar' #26

Description

@unamon

Hey, I've been trying to use the program but come across this issue:

$ binwalk -e image.png

DECIMAL       HEXADECIMAL     DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
869           0x365           Zlib compressed data, best compression

WARNING: Extractor.execute failed to run external extractor 'jar xvf '%e'': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'jar', 'jar xvf '%e'' might not be installed correctly
34562         0x8702          Zip archive data, encrypted compressed size: 98, uncompressed size: 86, name: archive.txt

WARNING: One or more files failed to extract: either no utility was found or it's unimplemented

I do have java jdk installed, but the command in question wouldn't be simply jar, but java -jar. Am I missing something? Is there a way to configure binwalk to use another extractor instead?
