How to recursively unpack archives of type war/ear/pack.gz/tar.gz
You may find rjar helpful, from the documentation:
rjaris a command-line tool that acts like the regularjartool, but recursively ! It is very useful when e.g. using .ear or .war files, or any other "jars of jars"...Also works zith .zip files !
Supported features :
- list jar entries recursively : all entries are displayed including entries of nested jars if any
- expand a jar recursively : expand the jar and its nested jars to the specified directory
- recreate a jar from an expanded rjar : allows to rebuild a jar with nested jars from an expanded directory structure
- graphical front-end : tree view of your jars, with regexp filtering
