Axis2 and Eclipse

[Sam Takoy]

Hi,

I just downloaded Axis2 and want to write java code in eclipse that
uses it. I need classes in org.apache.axis2.*. How do I find out in
which of the 60 jar files in lib/ are the relevant classes located?

Many thanks in advance,

Sam

Usually you can detect it from the name of the jar files.

And you can verify by listing the content of the jar files.

There are also many scripting and Java programming solutions.

Usually you can detect it from the name of the jar files.

And you can verify by listing the content of the jar files.

There are also many scripting and Java programming solutions.

You can script a search using "jar tf <jarname>" or "unzip -l <jarname>" for a list of jarnames. I usually just grep the JARs directly, though, sincethe directories are text and therefore greppable.

Using bash:

$ grep MyWorld libs/*.jar
Binary file libs/universe.jar matches.

$ jar tf libs/universe.jar | grep MyWorld
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$1.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$2.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$3.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$4.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$Messages.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorldUtils.class

$ for fl in libs/*.jar; do grep -q MyWorld $fl && echo $fl && jar tf $fl | grep MyWorld; done
libs/universe.jar
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$1.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$2.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$3.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$4.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld$Messages.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorld.class
com/lewscanon/foo/util/MyWorldUtils.class
