Open Source ChromeOS Search Software

If you have ever tried to locate files, classes, and resources buried amongst an ever shifting locus of ZIP and / or JAR files, we feel your pain! After spending far too much time searching hundreds of archives for moving targets, I decided to write JarOMine. Originally designed for locating Java classes, JarOMine works equally well with ZIP archives, too.

This project is a tool to detect file types by signatures and mime types. It uses hash tables to make the detection of a file type as fast as possible. The signature and mime types lists are stored at simple user-friendly files. This file type detector supports a lot of formats (image, archive, text, documents, audio, video, fonts and others). It also includes Microsoft OLE compound file types. The detector's algorythm has special features to detect text file types like (HTML, XML, JSON, etc.) and text file UNICODE charsets by using their BOMs (Byte order marks). Its small simple interface can be used at the most popular platforms.
