Have you ever used a wrong class that packaged in an irrelevant jar file? Are you trying to search a class from many jar files?
Java Class Finder is a small Java utility tool to search a given class from all jar files that in a selected directory (and sub-directories).

How does it work?
Simply specify the class name and a directory to search. Java Class Finder will search all jar files in the given directory (and sub-directories) that contain the given class.

It is a powerful tool for finding java class files on the file system, recursively looking into directories and archives. Useful for fixing “ClassNotFound” exception and setting the CLASSPATH properly

You can Download JavaClassFinder Tool from  here Download. This tool provides 14 days evaluation period

Step 2:

Now enter that class name in the Search file field which you want to search & browse and select the respective directory in which you want to search that class.

For eg: I want to know Dictionary class belongs to which package of jre7.

So like this we can find any class from any Directory, sub-directory, jar..etc
