JarFinder.com - Where have you been all my life?
Ever have that moment where you discover a great little tool and you wonder "Where have you been all my life?"
Well I had that moment today when I finally came across http://www.jarfinder.com/
Ever have a hard time tracking down which Jar a class belongs to?
My bane is org.apache.xml.serializer.
It turns out it's in Xalan of all places (and I can never seem to remember that).
Now with http://www.jarfinder.com/ you don't have to struggle anymore to find the jar that contains that class file.
Turns out this has been out there since at least early 2006 - wow.

That looks pretty handy!
I've been using a tool called JarScan (https://jarscan.dev.java.net/) for for a while now which serves a similar purpose - the main difference being that it searches your local hard-disk instead of it's own repository.
I run it from a "jarscan.bat" batch file like this:
java -jar c:/util/jarscan.jar -dir ./ -class
So when I'm trying to figure out a ClassNotFound problem, I just open a command prompt in my project directories and type :
jarscan org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
and within a couple of seconds, I'm looking at a list of the jars containing that class.
