Corrupted jar files

Question

How to identify the corrupted jar files in my classpath using jar commands.

Will -xvf help in sorting out corrupted jars?

Please help.

Answer 1

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.
