@test is used to read a manifest file and the content from a jar Created this to test versions of jars while I went crazy trying to figure out jar versions through command lines or unzipping the jars. It is intended to be be just another option under your right mouse button.

usage

Linux

Add “attest” as a file-type for x-application-jar and put the following in the command line java -jar {PATH-TO-ATTEST-JAR}\Attest.jar %f

Mac Os X

Important: if you also want to use this on a Mac take the tar.gz file, instead of the zip The tar.gz file contains Attest.app, which you can link to the jar files, through the ‘Open With:’ statement. Just select other and select Attest.app

Windows

Under Explorer:Folder Options:File Types select the registered file type JAR (Executable Jar File) and click Advanced. Under actions select new and create a new action, call it info (or whatever you like). Under ‘Application used to perform action’ add the following line: javaw.exe -jar "{PATH-TO-ATTEST-JAR}\Attest.jar" "%1" Click Okay.

Starting attest

If you now rightclick on a jar in your platforms file-browser the context menu will show an option info. If you click on this Attest should show up.
