finding the last common directory in a jar file - jar

Is there a way to extract the last common directory structure in a jar file ?
For example,
jar -tf test.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
com/
com/a/
com/a/b/
com/a/b/c/
com/a/b/c/file1.class
com/a/b/d/
com/a/b/d/file2.class
Manifest.txt
The last common directory structure would be
com/a/b
I can code something in java/bash to just split by / and see if there is anything common with the next string, but I was wondering if there is a magical jar option that will save me some time.

WinSCP script to synchronize directories, but exclude several subdirectories

I need to write a script that synchronizes local files with a remote machine.
My file structure is:
ProjectFolder/
.git/
input/
output/
classes/
main.py
readme.md
I need to synchronize everything, but:
completely ignore .git folder
ignore files in input and output folders, but copy the folder
So far my code is:
open sftp://me:password#server -hostkey="XXXXXXXX"
option batch abort
option confirm off
synchronize remote "C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\MY FOLDER\Python Projects\ProjectFolder" "/home/MYNAME/py_proj/ProjectFolder" -filemask="|C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents\MY FOLDER\Python Projects\ProjectFolder\.git"
close
exit
First question: it doesn't seems to work.
Second question, how to add mask for input and output folder if I have spaces in file paths?
Thanks to all in advance.
Masks for directories have to end with a slash.
To exclude files in a specific folder, use something like */folder/*
-filemask="|.git\;*/input/*;*/output/*"

Airflow Dag Folder - How to ignore notebook checkpoints

Airflow is being too clever and trying to pick up dags within the jupyter notebook checkpoints folder "dags/.ipynb_checkpoints/" which is throwing an error.
Is there a way to config airflow to ignore folders of a certain pattern? like I would .gitignore?
Thanks
You can create .airflowignore in dags folder:
.ipynb_checkpoints
From the docs:
A .airflowignore file specifies the directories or files in DAG_FOLDER that Airflow should intentionally ignore. Each line in .airflowignore specifies a regular expression pattern, and directories or files whose names (not DAG id) match any of the patterns would be ignored (under the hood, re.findall() is used to match the pattern). Overall it works like a .gitignore file.
.airflowignore file should be put in your DAG_FOLDER. For example, you can prepare a .airflowignore file with contents
project_a
tenant_[\d]
Then files like project_a_dag_1.py, TESTING_project_a.py, tenant_1.py, project_a/dag_1.py, and tenant_1/dag_1.py in your DAG_FOLDER would be ignored (If a directory’s name matches any of the patterns, this directory and all its subfolders would not be scanned by Airflow at all. This improves efficiency of DAG finding).
The scope of a .airflowignore file is the directory it is in plus all its subfolders. You can also prepare .airflowignore file for a subfolder in DAG_FOLDER and it would only be applicable for that subfolder.
Place a file named .airflowignore in the directory you want Airflow to ignore.

jar -uf is deleting the file inside the jar

I am using jar -uf to update my MANIFEST.MF file like this:
a. jar xf jarfile.jar META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
b. edit the file
c. jar uf jarfile.jar META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
But the 'uf' command is removing MANIFEST.MF from within my jar.
What is the right way to change a file inside a jar (windows 7, jdk 1.6)?
You can always use winrar (or any equivalent) to open the jar, and drag/drop the files. worked for me.
For updating the manifest file the jar command provides different option -
jar umf manifest jar-file
The m option indicates that you want to update the JAR file's manifest.
manifest is the manifest whose contents you want to merge into the manifest of the existing JAR file.
examples # http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/basics/update.html
There is a special option (m) for the manifest file: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/jar.html
Could you try with
jar um jarfile.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Corrupted jar files

How to identify the corrupted jar files in my classpath using jar commands.
Will -xvf help in sorting out corrupted jars?
Please help.
I think you would need to look at each jar file individually and allow the jar command to tell when an archive is corrupt. You can use the list command for this:
$ jar tf <jarfile>
Alternatively I guess you could just run java itself, with your desired classpath, and hope that is declares which jar files are corrupt.

How do I find the packages defined in a jar?

I have a bunch of JAR files (from a maven2 project) and maven reports some package could not be found (org.openanzo.client.jena to be exact). I want to dig into the JAR files downloaded as the result of maven dependency resolution and find what packages are thus available from these JAR files. Insights?
UPDATE: Apparently, the only good solution to inspect insides of a jar file is the "jar" utility or one can use the facilities of their IDE to do so.
jar tvf filename.jar will show you the contents of a jar file without requiring you to extract it.
But I think that maybe what you are really trying to do is find the right coordinates for the dependency that you are missing, since obviously none of the ones you have right now are supplying the package you are looking for (in other words, checking their contents is not likely to help you).
I confess that the first place I would suggest to check is Sonatype's public Nexus instance. A search for your example turns up nothing, though. Usually that means the project is not trying to get their stuff into Maven Central or other major repositories (which is okay), so you have to resort to a web search. Usually the first two sections of the package tell you where to look (openanzo.org in your case).
If you are on Linux or a Mac, you could go to the terminal at the root of the folder containing your JARs and type:
# grep -ri "org.openanzo.client.jena" *
It will return a recursive list of all JAR files that contain that package name. If it returns 0 results, then none of those JARS contain that package.
If you wanted to do a more exhaustive search, you could unJAR the JAR files. The directory structure and .class files will be organized by packages in folders.
# jar xvf filename.jar
If you are on Windows, you can unJAR a JAR file using a tool such as 7Zip.
#Carsten
you do not have to rename a .jar file to .zip. You can directly open the jar file in winzip/or other zip utility (assuming windows OS)
#ashy_32bit
try using "jar class finder" eclipse plugin from IBM. Simple plugin for finding classes (if you know the class name)
OR
as carsten suggested... set the jar files as lib files and manually look it up
OR
create a batch file called a.bat (where you have all your jar files directly under a single folder) and paste the following 4 lines
#ECHO OFF
dir /b *.jar > allJarFilesList.txt
FOR /F %%A IN (allJarFilesList.txt) DO jar -tf %%A > list_of_packages.txt
FOR %%B IN (list_of_packages.txt) DO FIND /I "com/sun" %%B
NOTE the "com/sun" in the last line.. it is hard coded, you can pass as argument as well...
I know this is very basic form and can be improved "a lot" like looking up in various sub directories.
hope this helps :-)
.jar files are just ZIP compressed archives, rename it to zip, open it with your favourite unzip programm, and traverse through the directory.
If you add the jar file to a eclipse project, you can traverse through the lib in th project explorer.
HTH
Assuming maven downloaded the jar files,the files will be loaded in to a local repository.
You could use maven browser that comes packaged with Eclipse to browse and search for artifacts in your repository.(usually in userdir/.m2/repository)
Note:You can explore your repository directly if you want. You will understand the packages that were downloaded. But I suggest using the plugin.
If you are using Intellij IDEA, each project contains a tree called External Library that allows you to search and explore your libraries.
