That would not be a bad solution if I needed to search a lot of these files a lot of the time. I myself have been known to unpack a jar and mount the directory when I needed to figure out what is going on. If it is a matter of figuring out where a call is going or coming from I can usually find it by searching newsgroups. Then if I find a reference to it I'll look for APIDocs. I did this in the past to understand irregularities I perceived with Xerces. I would probably decouple it from eclipse though and do it programmatically and then just mount the jars in the IDE for searching.

Ok, well then, what do you think of the Plugin to Eclipse I suggested, think that's a good idea? No kidding, what do you think? Michael Oliver AppsAsPeers LLC 7391 S.

Well Jon, that's kind of snippy, but before I went ahead and wrote it myself, I thought I would ask this august group of java guru's....sort of the reason we are in this JUG is it not?

My thinking is to build an Eclipse Plugin that could walk the filesystem looking for jars and open them up, index the manifests and contents and extend the Eclipse search so when you search for "java.security" it would find not only all the .java source files but all the jars that have it or use it.

Also, you could use unzip and grep. I do this sometimes to check to make sure something I intended to be in a .jar/.war/.ear/.zip file is really there: unzip -v something.jar | grep security Sprinkle a little Unix magic to loop over all .jar files in the filesystem and voila. :) On Friday, January 10, 2003, at 01:40 PM, Thomas Hicks wrote: > At 01:24 PM 1/10/2003 -0500, you wrote: >> You're the Unix guru... :) I suspect it'd be a one-liner to do >> something with 'find' and 'setenv CLASSPATH'.... right? >> >> Sorry for not answering the question... oops. > > Wow...that sounds like a brute force approach. :) > This got me thinking though, just how many JARs are > sitting out there?
