 |
|
Hi Nikos,
Your search tool in xplorer2 works great and is very fast. I use it every day. But i am missing one option.
I am a Java programmer and I still need SpeedCommander to look and search into archives with the extension .jar. The jar-archive contains java-classes. Is there a way xplorer2 can explore these type of archives?
Regards, Gerard de Vos |

If you rename xyz.jar files to xyz.jar.zip, I think it should work.
You can use X2 mass rename functionality to add as well as remove .zip extension from your jar files.
May be there is a way x2 could treat .jar files as .zip files. Nikos can shed more light on this.

You can set the .jar extension to CompressedFolder in the registry.
Edit: removed registry tweak

FrizzleFry and snakebyte,
Renaming in jar.zip is a workaround. It does work, but while programming not the option i realy would like.
The sugestion of FrizzleFry made me change the registry for .jar identicaly as .zip. (made a new String value with the name "PerceivedType" and gave it the value "compressed".)
And it does work!!
Thanks for the support, guys!
regards, Gerard de Vos |

But then you lose the ability to execute an executable jar. |

That's true. I do not have the Java runtime installed on my PC and .jar was associated with WinRAR so I saw no harm in associating .jar with CompressedFolder. You could set up an open with action to execute .jar files.
I have removed the reg file tweak. |

| you can always add an extra verb for JAR files so that it opens with xplorer2 like zip for default and with the external program through the context menu |

I thought about that but couldn't figure out how to do it (easily) because the shell verbs are part of the key "jarfile" and .jar can either be "CompressedFolder" or "jarfile" but not both...
However I fear this is verging OT for this board  |

That is why I suggested an "open with" action which is set for the extension rather than for the file type. The one I created for the .jar extension is stored here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jar\OpenWithList |

I just found a different solution.
- Create the key "CLSID" under the file type key (".jar") or the ProgID key (e.g. "jarfile").
- Set "{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}" as the default value.
This will enable searching in .jar files without modifying the defined actions for .jar files. |

| Bytecode, a.k.a. .class files. |

More than you would think, if the code was not obfuscated. Here is a small program:
| Code: |
public class test
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
String string1 = "Hello", string2 = "world";
System.out.println(string1 + ", " + string2);
}
}
|
... and here is the result of running "strings" on the class file:
| Code: |
<init>
Code
LineNumberTable
main
([Ljava/lang/String;)V
SourceFile
test.java
Hello
world
java/lang/StringBuilder
test
java/lang/Object
java/lang/System
Ljava/io/PrintStream;
append
-(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
toString
()Ljava/lang/String;
java/io/PrintStream
println
(Ljava/lang/String;)V
|
[/code] |
