Script: Find duplicate filenames in two different directories

I'm looking for files that end in ".jar" and using Mac OSX. This script must do a search strictly comparing dir1 to dir2 recursively since paths can change.

dir1 = "/apollo/pkg"
dir2 = "/apollo/env"

Let's say

jar1 = "/apollo/pkg/2/3/4/same1.jar"
jar2 = "/apollo/env/8/1/3/5/2/3/same1.jar"

jar3 = "/apollo/pkg/7/2/6/same2.jar"
jar4 = "/apollo/env/1/3/same2.jar"

I'm new to writing scripts and need to write a bash script that would result in echoing to cmd line

"/apollo/pkg/2/3/4/target.jar"
"/apollo/env/8/1/3/5/2/3/target.jar"

"/apollo/pkg/7/2/6/same2.jar"
"/apollo/env/1/3/same2.jar"

Please help.

Try using find, where you specify the place to start the recursive search ('/apollo') and all jar files with -name '*.jar'.

find '/apollo' -name '*.jar' -print

Edit: You could also try the command below, but it should be equivalent.

find /apollo -name *.jar

If you're using linux, you could try something like this:

find /apollo -iname "*.jar"

If you want to search everywhere, try this:

find / -iname "*.jar"
