JarsBrowser 3.0

The Jars Browser is a simple free Swing application for browsing a set of jar files.
It scans a directory or a Java archive (Jar, EAR, WAR) to answer these simple questions:

• In which Jar/WAR/EAR this class file is located ?
• Is this class contained in multiple Jars ?
  

It helps resolving classpath problems as well as sealing violation issues when different versions of a class are contained in multiple Jars.

New: JarsBrowser can inspect Jars in EAR and WAR files recursively.
