How to view the contents of jar file in eclipse or jar-file-explorer

Question

I am working on a project where i need to know the contents of jar file included in my web-project. I am using Eclipse juno. However Netbeans provides these features to view the contents of a jar-file. Please suggest me how to achieve this in eclipse.

Answer 1

In the project explorer, you should have something with an icon looking like a pile of book like those:

just expand the one containing your dependencies (probably labelled "Referenced Librairies") and you can browse as usual.

NB: you will probably need to specify where the sources are for each jars (right click on a jar > Properties > Java source attachment)

Answer 2

Please use the Eclipse plugin zipeditor in order to view the content of jars, zips or wars: Enter update site: http://zipeditor.sourceforge.org/update and enjoy. That is the best choice so far to handle archives in Eclipse.
