This is one command that I find very useful at work. I learned it from my Collegue Manish.
If you have lot of jar files lying in some directories and you want to find which jar file contains Foo.class,
for i in `find . -name “*.jar”`; do echo $i; jar tvf $i | grep “Foo”; done
For Windows users, this might be a full day work, rite? Enjoy!

This is a good one for Solaris. Being a developer, anyone will need this pretty often.
But don’t question the usability of Windows. It’s not a full day job.In fact it takes seconds using the standard Microsoft Search.
Thanks anyway for the post. Now I am going to use this command instead of pulling the jar using FileZilla to Windows and then doing the search(in seconds) for the class file.
