I don't like to be pathetic in a public forum, but finding which jar a given
class file lives in, is a nuisance I have been hoping to see eliminated for a
decade now.
I've read an awful lot of articles and forums in that time and never yet seen
anyone complain about what a pain in the ass it is, nor seen any proposal to
simplify.
I have I just been unlucky?? or never asked the right question??
Just now I've been looking for javax/transaction/Synchronization. I thought
"Ah, it'll be in jta.jar" but in ibiblio there are only poms and licences. I
found an ibiblio directory javax.transaction -- again only poms.
Finally I thought, "I know the little stinker is part of of J2EE, let's try
j2ee.jar". I don't have one in my machine, so I have to download the whole
J2EE nonsense from javasoft??? Arggghh!!!
While winding up to kick the puppy into the rose bushes, I thought "Wait a sec!
It must be bundled with jBoss.
Whew! Got it. jboss-j2ee.jar yippee!!!
All fixed ...
... until the next time that I have to play the whole silly game over
again :-(
Why doesn't Google have a global jar contents locator?
Will someone put me out of my misery?
