Tips & Tricks: How to find a java class in a jar under subfolders?

It happens so many time that you are working on Enterprise Application Deployed on AIX or other unix or linux. You suddenly want to see if one of the java class is made to the deployment. Or you want to search some java class is part of which jar. All these jars are deployed deep down various subdirectories.

Please use this script on AIX:

for f in `find . -name "*.jar" -print`
do
   jar -tvf $f|grep 'YourClassName.class'
done
echo "Done.."

In case of YourClassName.class please add your class name.

If you have script like this or a utility, please do share...Thanks

Enjoy…
