I’ve been working with Netbeans in the last couple of days, and this post is an aide-memoir for one of the more onerous tasks I came across. I wanted to re-use netbeans icons, but they were difficult to locate. As usual stackoverflow had some useful information and what worked for me was the following bash command:
me@laptop:~/Applications/netbeans-6.9$ find . -name '*.jar' -type f | xargs -i bash -c "jar -tvf {}| tr / . | grep "saveAs.png" && echo {}"
847 Thu Jun 10 15:50:16 BST 2010 org.netbeans.modules.profiler.actions.resources.saveAs.png
847 Thu Jun 10 15:50:16 BST 2010 org.netbeans.modules.profiler.resources.saveAs.png
./profiler/modules/org-netbeans-modules-profiler.jar
847 Thu Jun 10 15:50:16 BST 2010 org.netbeans.modules.profiler.docs.helppages.img.saveAs.png
./profiler/modules/docs/org-netbeans-modules-profiler.jar
Which you can use to locate all .png images by replacing the “saveAs.png” as simply “.png”. The same idea can be used for locating the module of a particular class, e.g.:
me@laptop:~/Applications/netbeans-6.9$ find . -name '*.jar' -type f | xargs -i bash -c "jar -tvf {}| tr / . | grep "SaveCookie" && echo {}"
1550 Thu Jun 10 15:36:04 BST 2010 org.netbeans.modules.versioning.diff.EditorSaveCookie.class
./ide/modules/org-netbeans-modules-versioning-util.jar
7462 Thu Jun 10 15:34:38 BST 2010 org.netbeans.modules.settings.SaveSupport$SaveCookieImpl.class
./platform/modules/org-netbeans-modules-settings.jar
295 Thu Jun 10 15:34:04 BST 2010 org.openide.cookies.SaveCookie.class
./platform/modules/org-openide-nodes.jar
From which it can be seen that the save cookie class is in the Nodes module.
Can’t believe you didn’t try FileLocator Pro, it’s great at this sort of thing! 🙂

Ah well now, if I was using Windows I would of course have immediately turned to FileLocator Pro.
