List resources in a jar

[Raf Szczypiorski]

Hi. Is there a way to list all resources in a jar file? Judging by what I found, the answer is no (I haven't found anything ;d), but who knows?
Thanks.

A JAR file is just an ordinary ZIP file that includes a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in it. So you can list what's in a JAR using any ZIP utility. Or use the "tv" option on the "jar" utility that comes with the JDK.

Hi.
I wasn't specific enough, sorry for that.
I meant I want to list resources at runtime, on a mobile phone. As far as I can see MIDP doesn't support any Zip/JarInputStream. With the Java classloaders, you know that a Class belongs to a package after you load it, which makes it impossible to list all classes in a package. As resource loading use classloaders, I guess there is the same issue, but maybe there exists some way to do that?
