Get files from Jar which is on the repository without downloading the whole Jar from Java



I would like to access the jar file on the repository, search inside it for the certain files, retrieve those files and store them on my hard disc. I don't want to download the whole jar and then to search for it.





So let's assume I have the address of the Jar. Can someone provide me with the code for the rest of the problem?







public void searchInsideJar(final String jarUrl, final String artifactId,

final String artifactVersion) {

InputStream is = null;

OutputStream outStream = null;

JarInputStream jis = null;

int i = 1;

try {

String strDirectory = "C:/Users/ilijab/" + artifactId +artifactVersion;



// Create one directory

boolean success = (new File(strDirectory)).mkdir();

if (success) {

System.out.println("Directory: " + strDirectory + " created");

}



is = new URL(jarUrl).openStream();

jis = new JarInputStream(is);



while (true) {

JarEntry ent = jis.getNextJarEntry();

if (ent == null) {

break;

}

if (ent.isDirectory()) {

continue;

}

if (ent.getName().contains("someFile")) {

outStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(

strDirectory + "\\" + "someFile" + i));

while(ent.)

System.out.println("**************************************************************");

System.out.println(i);

i++;

}

}

} catch (Exception ex) {

}

}







So, in upper code, how can I save the file I found(the last if) into directory.

  1. Assuming that by "repository", you mean a Maven repository, then i'm afraid this can't be done. Maven repositories let you download artifacts, like jar files, but won't look inside them for you.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
