Deploy J2EE library failed

Question

I'm trying to create a J2EE Library DC that contains a few jar files that I want to deploy to the J2EE server for usage by a set of test classes.
I created an external library DC, imported a jar file into the libraries folder, and added the jar file to a public part that has selected option "provides an API for Developing/compiling". I then built the DC Successfully.
Then I created a J2EE Library DC, and added the external library DC as a used DC, with a build and run time dependancy, and I created an entity reference to the external library DC's public part.
When I build the J2EE Library DC, the jar file are not included in the SDA file. Nothing I've tried can get the jar file to be placed in the SDA file for deployment.
Why is the jar file not in the SDA? What am I doing wrong? I've spent the last while reading everything I can find on SDN about j2EE Library DCs, and it seems that I'm doing everything correctly - or am I?
I'm running 7.00 SP9 . Can someone verify that a) my procedure above is correct, and b) that this does work under 7.00 SP9 ?

Hi,
Are you trying to depoy through SDM or visual admin?
SDM can recognize only SCA,SDA and ear files.
I think,you can do one thing,you can convert those jar files to <b>ear</b> format and deploy it through SDM or Visual admin.
You can do it this way,
Copy all those jar files into a folder .
For ex: if you have copied all those jar files into "new folder" in C:,
go to C:\newfolder in command prompt.
then run  the command,
<b>jar -cvf  *</b>
or
take each jar file and give command
<b>jar -cvf  nameofexe.exe *</b>
then all the jar files will be converted into ear format and you can deploy through SDM or visualadmin.
