Manifest.mf file viewer?


Are there any tools available which will take a manifest.mf file from a jar and display the contents nicely?

In particular when working with OSGi bundles the Export-Package and Import-Package entries can get quite large and difficult to quite work out what is going on. Added to this simple keyword text searching is not 100% reliable because of line breaks.


Solution

  • I believe the eclipse plugin for BND tools does it fairly nicely. It has an editor for viewing a jar file.
