Package com.isocra.utils.jarSearch Description

Provides utilities for searching through directories or the CLASSPATH for specific classes and other resources.

This package contains classes that will search through either a specified directory (DirectorySearcher), or your CLASSPATH (ClasspathSearcher) and list all the files (even inside jars) that match the specified pattern.

The pattern is specified using a java Regular expression, so examples of useful patterns are:

• .*class will return all class files
• .*tld will return all TagLib descriptors
• .*ObjectPool.*class will return classes that have ObjectPool somewhere in the name
• org/apache/commons/pool.*class will return all classes in that package in any jars

To use the utilities, compile the classes and then execute either:

com.isocra.utils.jarSearch.DirectorySearcher <directory> <pattern>

Searches in the specified directory for matching files. It will search recursively through subdirectories and inside jar files.

com.isocra.utils.jarSearch.ClasspathSearcher <pattern>

Searches in the current CLASSPATH. It will search each element of the CLASSPATH, if it is a directory, it searches recursively through the directory, if it is a jar, it searches that, if it is a file, it checks to see if that file matches.

Package Specification

Uses the Java regular expression classes to match against filenames (including inside jars).
