groovy-script: lookup classes in jar-files
11. März 2008
Recently I had following problem. I had a bunch of jar-files and I had to find out which jar-file was holding a specific class.
This is a common task, because your java-code told you that a class XY was not in you classpath, so you would have to search for it, if you don’t know already where to find it.
Since I had to do it already 2 times and as I am learning groovy I decided to write a short groovy-script
(are there long groovy-scripts?) which allows me to do that.
It is pretty straight-forward so here it is: searchJar.groovy
