[rhelv6-list] jar command for .war archives missing from JDK

[Darren Patterson]

I know this has already been answered, but I thought I would provide a tip on finding utilities:

Yum provides a great way to search using the 'provides' option (note the */ prefixed before the binary name):
# yum provides */jar 

That will list all packages that contain a binary with the name 'jar' at any path.
