Unzip .jar, .tgz and .zip files recursively

❯ ./unzip-recursive.py help Usage: unzip-recursive [files|directories] Examples: unzip-recursive . unzip-recursive *.jar *.tar.gz 

This extracts each archive file into a directory next to it named <archive-name>.contents. Once extracted, this is useful for things like finding class files in arbitrarily nested jars:

unzip-recursive my-app.jar find . -name JndiLookup.class 

There is a simple Makefile to install the script on macOS or Linux. Install by running:

make install unzip-recursive help 

Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH. Requires Python 2.
