Verifying .java and .class files match
I have a bit of a strange situation in a team-working environment where many developers copy code to a production server. None of this code is in a Version Control System and I have been given the task of getting it into one (I've chosen Subversion, but that isnt important)
The problem is, its not as simple as doing a full commit of the production server because developers may have copied edited .class files onto the server, but not copied edited .java (therefore the .java file is not the same as the .class file)
Because the server has hundreds (if not thousands) or java and class files, I cant just decompile each of the class files and manually see if they match the java files, so I'm asking, is there a tool that can verify a java file matches a class file of the same name in terms of version (or if not is there an easier way of doing it than the decompile method)?
Thanks in advance
