Java Jar Class Finder

Too many times I've come across sample code that reference classes but doesn't indicate what jar file to reference. Not knowing what jar file a class is in makes this annoyance Number 732 on my list of things I hate about Java.

I wrote JarClassFinder to solve this problem and use it most every day. The application should be fairly obvious:

  1. Point at some folders,
  2. enter a class,
  3. click 'Search
