Solution; hop in the old time machine and ask the original developers to explain.
HTH

Ah, Human Remains, yes. This client always had way too many managers and not enough developers. Always a bit crap on the pay to the developers as well. So they've have been moving on slowly but surely. Now their last developer has left and the sh1t has hit the fan.
Meetings are fun though. Lots of managers and only me having a (very small) clue.

Hmm, geophysical survey: I think I need to write a tool that acts like a radar to find where this class might be hiding.

Archaeology and contracting
Ever had that feeling you wish you knew more about archaeological techniques when trying to sort out a clients problem?
Fighting with a jboss installation today. There are two jars with the same name: one in action, one in deploy. In this jar is supposed to be a class with a static method which takes three parameters. Now in the oldest jar, the class is not there, in the newest jar the class is there but the method only takes 2 parameters (I decompiled to check). So it must be somewhere else. A bruteforce search doesn't find it, and getting the jsp to tell me where the class is: URL whereItIs = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(<dodgyClas s>); just tells me the name of the jar, which I already know. So the jar is obviously in another jar, and may be nested further.
