jHashtools is the java-port of a tool that was developed a couple of years ago for computing the digests of a complete directory tree. It could also take the output of a previous run and check if all the files mentioned in the file were contained in the directory and vice-versa. This tool was implemented in python. Although python is a quite beautiful language, it contained a lot of glued-on functionality which was quite hard to maintain.
This tool does the same as the above mentioned use case. It was implemented in java because that's the language that's used most at the moment and it strikes are quite good balance between ease of writing and speed.
