List contents of multiple jar files

Question

I am searching for a .class file inside a bunch of jars.

jar tf abc.jar 

works for one file. I tried

find -name \"*.jar\" | xa

You can also use unzip which is more faster than jar (-l option to print zip content).

For instance, a small script that does roughly what you want:

#!/bin/bash

for i in $(find . -name "*.jar")
do
    if [ -f $i ]
then
    echo $i
    unzip -l $i | grep $*
fi
done
