Okay, I've forgotten the original purpose of the excersize, but someone 
correct if I'm wrong.  If all you're trying to do is locate the jar file 
a classfile is contained in, what's wrong with:

jar -tf foo.jar classname.class

If there's a number of jar files then:

for jf in *.jar;do

jar -tf $jf classname.class > /dev/null && print $jf
done

Or, was the intent to search the actual source code for a classname 
contained within???
