Packaging a third party jar

Hi,
I need to package a third party jar and export as a jar File using eclipse 3.1? Can you please explain step by step in brief.
Thanks,

The normal way is simply not to do that, but to have the JAR added to the Class-Path entry in the manifest. How Eclipse does that, no friggin' clue. Read the manual.

Unable to access classes in third party jar files packaged with my ejb.jar

I have packaged some third party jar files in my xxx_ejb.jar file. The third party jar file contains classes that are accessed by some custom classes which are in turn accessed by my bean classes. I get the following error when my custom classes attempt to use any of the classes in one of the third party jar files:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/Ostermiller/util/CSVParser
Shouldn't I be able to access classes in jar files that are packaged with my xxx_ejb.jar file? I see the xxx_ejb.jar file as a resource of the application classloader that contains it but I don't see the third party jar files.

As per the Java EE specification, additional JAR files should be packaged on the EAR level. Only WAR files' WEB-INF/lib folder is scanned for JAR files to be added to the classloader.

How to include third party .jar files into my jar file

Hi,
how do i include a open source third party jar file into an executable jar?
i have a class called BlogBox.java and it uses org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient, i want to create an executable file, where do i put the .jar file containing FTPClient aka Apache Commons Net?
currently i'm getting the following error from when executing my BlogBox.jar
C:\MyJava\BlogBox>java -jar BlogBox.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient

Any suggestions? i have searched google and this forum but could not find the solution to my problem, thanks
[edited msg] do i need to add the classpath at execution or something of the apache commons net library?

When you use an executable jar the normal class path
is ignored, but you can put a classpath inside the
jar. The usual trick is to place the library jar
files in a directory inside the application directory
and direct the manifest file to it. The manifest file
live in the jar inside the META-INF directory and
it's called manifest.mf
The two heavilly used entries are Main-class: and
Class-path: lines. Class-path just has a
comma-separated list of library paths.
The jar utility has a special option to load it up.Thanks :) I created a "/lib" directory, placed in the packages in there and redirected the Class-Path: lib/commons-net-1.4.1.jar
and it works,
thank you everyone :)

Problems with the ActiveX bridge for Java beans when using third-party .jar

I encountered the following problem when using the ActiveX bridge for a java bean:
I am using JDK 1.4.2_09 and MS Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6). I wrote a java bean called ProcessViewer (my class ProcessViewer inherits from JComponent and implements the interfaces Serializable and AdjustmentListener) which I would like to use within a VB 6.0 application. I used the ActiveX bridge (packager.exe) to generate a DLL (ProcessViewer.dll) and registered it successfully. The java bean GUI-control works fine within my VB 6.0 application unless my java bean (ProcessViewer.jar) uses any third-party .jar files.
But when I tried to add a reference to some third-party class (com.sap.xxx.xxx....) I got some problems. I could solve the problem with packager.exe by setting the correct CLASSPATH. But at runtime my VB 6.0 application does not work. It crashes or it reports an error like this: "The control ... could not be loaded from axbridge.dll" (although I deployed my .jar file correctly to the directory C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin and lib). Setting the CLASSPATH environment variable before calling my VB 6.0 application (exe) did not solve the problem.
How can I teach my VB 6.0 application (containing the Java bean ActiveX control) where to find the third-party .jar file? Copying the third-party .jar file to the JRE lib-folder or to the axbridge\lib folder did not solve the problem either.
I studied the documentation about the ActiveX bridge given at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
but I am missing informations on how the third-party .jar files can be found during runtime of the ActiveX container (e. g. a VB 6.0 application).

Where to put Third Party Jars in an .ear file

Where to put Third Party Jar files in an .ear file so that they can be packaged along with the entire application and thus bypass the trouble of putting the third party .jars inside the application server lib directory and set the class path.

Just put them in the root of your EAR. You can specify them in the classpath of your EJB JAR's manifest.

NoClassdefFoundError on the third-party jar's classes when building APK

I am building a native extension for Android.
For the android library, I create a android project and add several third-party jar files to build path.
I extract a jar file from a android project and merge it and third-party jar files into a single jar file.
I package ANE using a merged jar file and build a APK.
When I install a APK and launch it, NoClassdefFoundError on the third-party class occurs.
I use Flash Builder 4.6 and set sdk version to the Flex SDK 4.6.0 + AIR SDK 15.0.0.356.
I decompile APK and check the classes.dex.
Strangely a certain jar's classes are missing in the classes.dex.
I tried googling and found a similar case.
The following is the link :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24777394/noclassdeffounderror-on-thirdparty-class-files -when-building-adobe-native-extens
I try to follow the answer in this link.
Did dx.jar in the AIR SDK really strip out some classes of third-party jar file??
I inquired the java version of the third-party related with NoClassdefFoundError.
Now I am waiting for the reply.
Is anybody else know about this?

The android-support-v4.jar is same.
I check android-support-v4.jar's classes in ANE.
But they are missing in APK after release build.
I don't know why.
I use Flash Builder 4.6 and Flex SDK 4.6.0 + AIR SDK 15.0.0.356.
Is there anyone else know about this???

Eclipse third-party jar inclusion

I really should know how to do this but...
I'm using the Apache jakarta commons CLI package (org.apache.commons.cli)
I had assumed that
import org.apache.commons.cli.*;would work just like
import java.util.Iterator;In that once it compiled, I wouldn't need to worry about where the third party jar file was etc and could distribute my package freely.
Apparently I was mistaken:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
How do I "include" the appropriate information in my .jar file so I don't have to worry about the environment in which the program is run?
java is still my lovely language

This program is a small part of a larger package, and
sits in the same directory as a bunch of other .jars,
each representing one program. It just seemed a little
bit messy to require multiple files for a single
program in this case.
I did review the links, thank you, and have since used
the class-path entry method with multiple .jars as a
workable solution. I'm just not happy with it.Typically when users install software, they run one of those InstallShield (or their competitors) installers. And they have no idea how many files are created or what it does. One file, ten files, a thousand files, they don't really care.
Right now it looks to me like you're wearing both the user hat and the installer hat here, and as a result not doing really well at either hat. You as the user shouldn't care if you have to install three or five files to run the program; to you as the installer it looks messy but compared to most real-life installs it's incredibly tidy. Don't worry about it.

Third Party Jars in OIM 11G

Hi All,
I am trying to invoke a web service stub to call create() functionality.
From the stand alone program(with out integrating with OIM server), if I just run it from eclipse, I am able to create the user in target system. If I try to invoke through process task adapters, I am getting Connection Exception.
I think there is something to do with the third party jars. I have copied all the jars to /<Oracle_Home>/Oracle_IDM1/server/ThirdParty and <WEBLOGIC_HOME>Middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/lib.
Should I run "UploadJars.sh" utility of OIM?
Should I update the classpath of OIM and weblogic? I heard that from 11g onwards it automatically pick up the third party jars. Isn't so?
My OIM Server and Target System Application are in different machines. There is no SSL communication. So I think no need to exchange certificates also.
Please help me to solve this.

Hello, oimcoder.
I've removed the jars everywhere (from database and CLASSPATH variable too) besides the ThirdParty folder. When I run my Scheduled task there is a stack trace in log:

How to Call third party Jar into Application

Hi Can any Expert help ?
I want to put third party Jar into my application but i have some problem occur.
1. how to call jar with parameter in application ?
2. when i exit the third party jar task, it will exit my main task too. How to set my main tast exit stats standalone ?
3. I have over 10 jar files in one application, how can i set a classpath for client to call JNLP, instread of load all jar to client before run.
Thanks.
Sanki Poon ([email protected])

1) Sounds like you are trying to launch the third party from it's application main instead of using it as an API How does your code interact with it or is that not important?. You don't call a jar, you load a class. You could use a exec http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html to run the java launcher and pass it all it's command line stuff(But this may not be possible security wise via WebStart).
2) if it is launched in the same JVM and it calls a System.exit there is nothing you can do about your app closing too. It would need to be in another instance of the JVM
3) Under the resources tag you can have as many jar tags as needed.
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.5.0" java-vm-args="-esa -Xnoclassgc"/>
        <jar href="/jsf-wita/apps/MathMLWebEditor.jar"/>
    </resources>

Best way to make a jar with third party jars

hi, i have a question.
i have an application that uses different third party jars. For the moment i make my jar like this :
a) i include all my third party jars (it is working)
or is it better to
b) include the jars in the jnlp file
if b is better should i :
b1) link to them to another jnlp file, like this :
<extension name ....
or
b2) just put them as resources
Another question :
i sign my jar, but can't access the local file system. if i use solution a from above, do i have also to sign the jars that i include in my jar...
for solution b i think i will have to sign all the jars... right ?
Thx for your help

hi, i have a question.
i have an application that uses different third party
jars. For the moment i make my jar like this :
a) i include all my third party jars (it is working)
or is it better to
b) include the jars in the jnlp file
this is best, leaving the third party jars alone.
if b is better should i :
b1) link to them to another jnlp file, like this :
<extension name ....
If you app needs all-permissions, it is best to do it this way, you can, for example, sign your jar, and then ask for all-permissions in the main jnlp file, then not ask for all-permissions in the extension jnlp file. Or you can ask for all-permission in the extension as well, if the third party jars are signed, and need all-permissions to run properly.
or
b2) just put them as resources
if you don't need all-permissions anywhere, this is easiest.
If you do need all-permissions everywhere, you could also do this, but you would need to sign the third party jars with the same certificate chain as you signed your jar.
If the third party jars are allready signed by the third party, or if all-permissions are only needed in some of the jars, the b1 is beter.
>
Another question :
i sign my jar, but can't access the local file
system. if i use solution a from above, do i have
also to sign the jars that i include in my jar...
You need to add :
<security> <all-permissions/> </security>
to your jnlp file. In that case, all the jars listed as resources in that jnlp file need to be signed, and by the same certificate.
for solution b i think i will have to sign all the
jars... right ?
yes
Thx for your help/Andy

Accessing third party jars in Web Start. (Urgent)

hi!
I have developed an application using jbuilder which uses thirdparty jars, i specify the jars in the project properties & the application runs fine , I tried to deploy that application using Java web start ,i copied all the third party jars in the same directory as the jnlp file's directory.
my jnlp file has a tag-<jar href="accessor.jar" />
in the manifest file of accessor.jar-I specified :-Class-Path: a1.jar a2.jar...........an.jar
since the application access the local file system,
i gave <security> <all-permissions/> </security>
i signed all the jar files.
When i deploy the application i get the following exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a1/StringData
StringData is a class in a1.jar.
thus my application cannot access "a1.jar"
How do i solve this problem?
Thanks
Sudhanshu

The following is the jnlp file:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/AccessorApp" href="A.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Acessor Application</title>
<vendor>abcd</vendor>
<homepage href="A.html" />
</information>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.3+" />
<jar href="accessor.jar" />
<jar href="a1.jar" />
</resources>
<security> <all-permissions/></security>
<application-desc main-class="accessor.DataAccess" />
</jnlp>
I hope Duck Creek Software -JNLP Wrapper solves this problem.

How to add third-party jar in CRM ISA application?

Hello SDN!
I need to add third-party jar in CRM ISA application. I know how to add such jars in common case and for local DCs. But for CRM I can't determine which DC should contain this third-party jar.
Please tell me ASAP which DC (e.g. crm/isa/home/ext) I should use.
Help will be appreciated.
Regards, Lev.

Hi,
To add third party jar you need to create new DC which contain your third party Jar. Once you have new DC with your Jar file you can add as Used DC in required DC.
Please refer [Using External Libraries for Development with NWDI|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/46/3ce3e4df201d63e10000000a11466f/content.htm] for more infromation to create DC with Jar File.

Using third party jars with Oracle Business Rules

Hi
I am working on Oracle AS 10g release 2.
We are using Oracle Business Rules in integration with Oracle BPEL.
While using third party jars however, Oracle Business Rules end is facing errors.

We tried using the applib folder to load the jars but we are getting class loading errors.
When new instances are created, class loading is not happening.
Pls help.
Thanks

Are you using Application Server Release 3 or Release 2? There are different versions listed in your mail.
I think you probably want to add this as a shared library via EM and then import the shared library to your application with the application's xml config files.

The manifest in my jar file looks like this after it is signed.
Name: ca/wim/passport/
Sealed: true
Main-Class: ca.wim.passport.startup
Class-Path: . images/ jars/commons-collections.jar jars/commons-digester.jar jars/commons-logging.jar jars/commons-logging-api.jar jars/commons-beanutils.jar jars/jasperreports.jar jars/dnsns.jar jars/kunststoff.jar jars/ldapsec.jar jars/localedata.jar jars/mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar jars/pjx.jar jars/sound.jar jars/sunjce_provider.jar
Name: ca/wim/passport/
Specification-Title: "Passport"
Specification-Version: "1.0"
Specification-Vendor: "WIM Consulting"
Implementation-Title: "passport"
Implementation-Version: "build34.9"
Implementation-Vendor: "WIM Consulting"
Sealed: true
The classpath in the manifest has "jars/mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar"
I signed all the third party jars and they are in a sub directory "jars" under
the directory my jar file is in.
My JNLP file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/sterlingcrane/" href="passport.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Passport</title>

<resources>
<j2se version="1.4+"/>
<jar href="passport.jar"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="ca.wim.passport.startup"/>
</jnlp>
I checked the files webstart downloaded and they are all were downloaded.
The code from my program is as follows:
String connectionDriver = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/passport?user=root&password="
Class.forName(connectionDriver); // Load database driverYet I am getting "ClassNotFoundException" as if the program cannot find
the third party jars.
Obviously I am missing something?

Thanks I now have it working.
With your suggestion I added a "jar href"
for each of the third party jars.
It does seem rather stupid to have to do this
as the manifest already has the required information
in it.
