I'm developing a tool to try and match random jar files against known jar files.
I ran the tool against the Android-7 jar file (android-sdk-linux_86/platforms/android-7/android.jar), and here's what my tool returned: Best match: 'httpcore-4.0-beta2.jar' with 92 matching signatures. Best match: 'httpclient-4.0-beta1.jar' with 127 matching signatures. This doesn't guarantee that those are indeed the exact versions in Android, but I have some confidence, since versions immediately before and after happened to also be in my database. Raw results: jakarta-httpcore-4.0-alpha1.jar | 2006-04-16 04:01:08 | 21 jakarta-httpcore-4.0-alpha2.jar | 2006-06-08 16:59:10 | 23 jakarta-httpcore-4.0-alpha3.jar | 2006-12-07 07:50:16 | 26 jakarta-httpcore-4.0-alpha4.jar | 2007-03-23 23:50:30 | 31 httpcore-4.0-alpha5.jar | 2007-06-28 23:53:46 | 35 httpcore-4.0-alpha6.jar | 2007-10-05 19:01:12 | 65 httpcore-4.0-beta1.jar | 2008-01-21 02:10:46 | 88 httpcore-4.0-beta2.jar | 2008-06-18 02:35:46 | 92 httpcore-4.0-beta3.jar | 2008-10-15 03:37:48 | 88 httpcore-4.0.jar | 2009-02-20 04:00:22 | 87 httpcore-4.0.1.jar | 2009-06-19 03:06:14 | 87 httpcore-4.1-alpha1.jar | 2009-09-06 19:37:24 | 84 httpclient-4.0-alpha1.jar | 2007-07-15 00:43:50 | 31 httpclient-4.0-alpha2.jar | 2007-11-06 23:00:30 | 53 httpclient-4.0-alpha3.jar | 2008-02-21 04:46:38 | 67 httpclient-4.0-alpha4.jar | 2008-05-05 00:37:32 | 83 httpclient-4.0-beta1.jar | 2008-08-23 18:48:30 | 127 httpclient-4.0-beta2.jar | 2008-12-18 04:13:42 | 125 httpclient-4.0.jar | 2009-08-07 03:40:44 | 119 httpclient-4.0.1.jar | 2009-12-10 04:06:18 | 117 httpclient-4.1-alpha1.jar | 2009-12-10 04:25:42 | 110 I hope this information can be of some help. yours, Julius > > Um, OK.
