I am searching for a .class file inside a bunch of jars.
jar tf abc.jar
works for one file. I tried
find -name \"*.jar\" | xa
If you coming to this question and you need to extract all jar files in a windows environment, navigate to the directory where you have saved all the jar files and save a batch file with the following content:
for /r %%f in (*) do jar -xvf %%f
By running the batch file, it will extract each jar file in the directory. The only thing here is that it will extract in the same directory where the jar file is.
