It takes the name of a class file as input. Either Fully qualified class name like 'org.jfree.util.Log' or just file name like 'Log' can be given.
Currently it can search in over 600 Open Source java projects. The support for proprietary jars will be added in the near future.
If you need the Swing version to internally use in your organization please write to me (kiranayyagari at jarsniffer dot org) (mention your special requirement if any).

Problem is:
1. I think Maven is overkill
2. The website address is dead
3. No OSS site will support all jars (and specific revisions), especially not commercial jars!
Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
Looks like the website is dead.........is alive now, however it's just a web query page, how useless! I was expecting a separate swing app, pity.Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
> however it's just a web query pageis it about JarSniffer. If it is then I would like to know what feature you would like/dislike to be there in the site.
> I was expecting a separate swing app
I am already working on the swing version of it (to be used inside an organization for searching in its jar files).
Would like to hear from you about any suggestion/feature/comment.
Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
Both the "jarsniffer" and "searchj" websites appear to be down at the moment so I am unable to check, but they sound to be aiming to provide the same service that we have been running at http://jarfinder.com for a some time now.Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
Of the sites, it does appear that jarFinder is the best although it could really do with some user ability + look and feel work to clean them up. It would be nice if these sites could allow you to filter / restrict your searches such that it would ignore case, look for classes in certain types of packages / jars (eg. j2ee, from a particular supplier, etc).However for these to be really useful the site owners would have to track the hundreds of apis from different suppliers + OSS projects which I think will just be a nightmare to maintain
In the past I wrote simple shell script that combined jar and find to locate the missing class in jar files.
Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
jarsniffer was unavalaible when I tried the URL and searchj did not help me as well. I found jarscan very useful for finding classes within jars or directories containing jars somewhere within them.Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
This software is so cool.Could it find the source code of class?
Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
You have to use some decompiler like cavaj or koders.com.Or just search for it on your java sources.
Re: JarSniffer: Find Classes in a Jar
you might also want to try the free jar search engine onhttp://www.findJAR.com
for your java searches. nice service as it contains more than 2 million classes right now.
