The way I find which jars hold the class I need is to do a grep of the all the jar files (mind you, I'm coming from a unix background, and I assume this would also work with cygwin in windows). Zip files seem to store the data structure to access the stored files in an uncompressed way (letting me look strings of the paths of files without any extra steps to extract them).
