 asked on

figuring out what jar a package belongs to

So I've got a bunch of packages in eclipse that can't be found.

For example in eclipse the following package exists with an error because the associated jar isn't imported into the project.  What's the best way to figure out what jar the following package is associated with.
 javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory

I'm not neccessarily looking for the answer but the way to go about finding the answer as this circumstance occurs quite often.

I would do a google search.

Using google I found out this class belongs to a jar called jaxrpc-api.jar

Try using this utility. Example:

java -jar jarsearch.jar %JAVA_HOME% ServiceFactory

java -jar jarsearch.jar %JAVA_HOME% ServiceFactory

doesn't print anything out... would it be expected that it could find ServiceFactory?

Actually service factory isn't in the JDK, but it should print something else out. Are you saying it prints nothing?

Thanks - that's good. Of course, you could have reduced the output by passing

javax/xml/rpc/ServiceFactory

as a parameter
