the which command but using class name instead of command and CLASSPATH for PATH

From: apm35@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I wonder if anyone has written a script that acts like the which
command but for java class names. Where the command name would be
given the class name is given and instead of using PATH it uses
CLASSPATH. I know there is a web facility to do this for well known
java class names but I need a command line utility for my env so I can
detect which jars are being used to resolve certain class names.

Regards,
