I want to search for a particular class file among many jar files without giving the location of each jar file.
Is this possible with a simple command?
I tried t
Just go to the directory which contains jars and insert below command:
find *.jar | xargs grep className.class
Hope this helps!
locate *.jar | grep Hello.class.jar
The locate command to search the all path of the particular file and display full path of the file.
example
locate *.jar | grep classic.jar
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/firefox/chrome/classic.jar
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/thunderbird/chrome/classic.jar
/root/.wine/drive_c/windows/gecko/0.1.0/wine_gecko/chrome/classic.jar
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.14/chrome/classic.jar
/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.2/chrome/classic.jar
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.2/chrome/classic.jar
/usr/share/firefox/chrome/classic.jar
/usr/share/thunderbird/chrome/classic.jar
Most of the solutions are directly using grep
command to find the class. However, it would not give you the package name of the class. Also if the jar is compressed, grep
will not work.
This solution is using jar
command to list the contents of the file and grep
the class you are looking for.
It will print out the class with package name and also the jar file name.
find . -type f -name '*.jar' -print0 | xargs -0 -I '{}' sh -c 'jar tf {} | grep Hello.class && echo {}'
You can also search with your package name like below:
find . -type f -name '*.jar' -print0 | xargs -0 -I '{}' sh -c 'jar tf {} | grep com/mypackage/Hello.class && echo {}'
Linux, Walkthrough to find a class file among many jars.
Go to the directory that contains the jars underneath.
eric@dev /home/el/kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1/libs $ ls
blah.txt metrics-core-2.2.0.jar
jopt-simple-3.2.jar scala-library-2.10.1.jar
kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-sources.jar zkclient-0.3.jar
kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-sources.jar.asc zookeeper-3.3.4.jar
log4j-1.2.15.jar
I'm looking for which jar provides for the Producer class.
Understand how the for loop works:
eric@dev /home/el/kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1/libs $ for i in `seq 1 3`; do
> echo $i
> done
1
2
3
Understand why find this works:
eric@dev /home/el/kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1/libs $ find . -name "*.jar"
./slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar
./zookeeper-3.3.4.jar
./kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-javadoc.jar
./slf4j-1.7.7/osgi-over-slf4j-1.7.7-sources.jar
You can pump all the jars underneath into the for loop:
eric@dev /home/el/kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1/libs $ for i in `find . -name "*.jar"`; do
> echo $i
> done
./slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar
./zookeeper-3.3.4.jar
./kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-javadoc.jar
./kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-sources.jar
Now we can operate on each one:
Do a jar tf
on every jar and cram it into blah.txt:
for i in `find . -name "*.jar"`; do echo $i; jar tf $i; done > blah.txt
Inspect blah.txt, it's a list of all the classes in all the jars. You can search that file for the class you want, then look for the jar that came before it, that's the one you want.
Use deepgrep and deepfind. On debian-based systems you can install them by:
sudo apt-get install strigi-utils
Both commands search for nested archives as well. In your case the command would look like:
find . -name "*.jar" | xargs -I {} deepfind {} | grep Hello.class
eric@dev /home/el/kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1/libs $ for i in `find . -name "*.jar"`; do
> echo $i
> done
./slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar
./zookeeper-3.3.4.jar
./kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-javadoc.jar
./kafka_2.10-0.8.1.1-sources.jar
