Displays a sorted list of files inside a jar. Similar to
PkUnzip -t but just the bare filenames in alphabetical
order.
Also works on zips prepared by Java, e.g. ant zips. Displays
package names with forward slashes (/) rather than
backslashes(\) or dots(.). Includes the various manifests.
The list can be pruned and fed to jar.exe to rebuild the jar
with fresh classes.
The list is useful to make sure all the necessary classes
are present, correctly spelled, and in the correct packages,
correctly spelled.
usage:
java.exe -jar jarlook.jar jartoexamine.jar > contents.txt

To install, Extract the zip download with WinZip, available from
http://www.winzip.com (or similar unzip utility) into any
directory you please, often C:\ -- ticking off the "user
folder names" option. To run as an application, type:
java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\jarlook\jarlook.jar  somejar.jar
adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.
Put the name of the jar you want to examine on the end of
the command line.
Don't confuse jarlook with a similar more complicated CMP
utility called jarcheck.
Why the glasses in a jar logo?  It symbolises looking more
closely at what is in a jar.
