Introduction
In the JAR Class Finder Oliver Stiefbold has already mentioned where to find the jarclassfinder. This Weblog explains the steps involved in integrating the jarclassfinder with NetWeaver Developer Studio. Jar Finder is a very useful tool when it comes to searching and finding jars during Custom Component development. Searching for java classes in the jars is a tedious job, it could be very difficult to find class file you are looking for without the jarclassfinder. Jar Finder helps us do it within minutes.
