Im looking for a somewhat easy way to tell if a directory of .jar files contains class reference which conflict.
For example,org/xml/sax/XMLReader.class from two incompatible versions. I wrote a simple command that does a find and then a "jar tf" to list the contents, then I sort by the filename, but this creates false positives in the case where the files are actually the same .class file version. I think I could just use SHA1 to detect this … if the SHA1 is identical I can just ignore it. Of course a WAY better way to do this would be some sort of maven plugin that looked at all dependencies and generated errors/warnings if you add a dependency with class conflicts. That would be sweet. -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
