Where to put third-party jar files

ok i've made some classes that i use to filter file types for when the user needs to open a file, but i've just been putting the classes used for filtering in the project i'm working on and i was wondering where i would put a jar file that contains those classes so that i could include them in programs. for example like you include java.awt.

Create a Jar from those classes and place it in the lib/ext folder of your JRE.

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.

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 :)

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.

Question about using third party jar files in Java Web Start Environment

Hi everybody, I got a very strange problem and still can't figer out how to solve it. Can anyone help to overcome this problem?? Thanks in advance.
Question: I wrote a simple java swing application to connect to Oracle database. I packed whole my classes and a third party jar file(classes12.jar) to a new jar file named "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" and then use command 'jarsigner' to signed IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar.

===================================
and file structures in "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" is
====================================
META-INF/
classes12.jar
DBAuthenticateDialog.class
DBConnection.class
IRMASSvrMgntGUI.class
====================================

If you directly include classes12.jar in IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar, the classloader won't be able to find the classes inside classes12.jar. You should sign classes12.jar separately and include that in jnlp along with your application specific jar. When you're launching your app using "java -jar somefile.jar" then the classpath settings in manifest file are used, but that's not the case when you start using JWS since in this case the classpath is based only on the " <jar href=..." entries in jnlp.

Using Third-Party jar file in database; Where to put license file?

Hi!
I have a third-party product that has a .jar file that references some .so files. I have successfully loaded the .jar file and the .so files are being called successfully, but when the program gets to the part where it reads the third-party license file, it is failing (ORA-3113 and an hs_err_pid<12345>.log and udump file are created. I know the issue is the location of the license file because I am getting the same exact error when I run it outside of the database. (I have been able to run it successfully outside of the database.)
The instructions for the third-party product say to put the license file in the application's runtime directory.
What I can't figure out is this: What is the application's runtime directory when I am running the code in the database?
I thought it would be user.dir which is set to $ORACLE_HOME, but putting the license file there didn't work. I have tried lots of other places under $ORACLE_HOME.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Laurel

Hi Laurel:
Whether or not you can read the license file, sure you will have problem then when trying to load your .so file.

you mean I have to unzip it? why it won't read zip file which normally ok for classloader.
Can i find any documentation on this issue?

OSGI bundle creation using third party jar files

Hi,
I have a requirement to integrate our CQ5.5 based application with a third party. As part of this, I have to use some jar files. After lot of digging, I realised that the way to use external jar files is to create an OSGI bundle wrapping these jar files.
So, I tried to do the same, but when I see the service details in system/console, I see errors. Can someone please suggest what could have gone wrong?
I have to use 3 jar files. So, I placed them in lib folder as shown in the screenshot below.
Ibuilt the bundle using .bnd file. It generated a jar file in install folder and I am able to to see its details in system/console/bundles. When I try to view details of the OSGI bundle that is installed, I see errors as follows:

Here is my bnd file with all directives:
Export-Package: *
Import-Package: *
Private-Package: *
# Include-Resource:

Bundle-Description: This OSGI bundle contains external jar file
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.self.learning.externaljarosgi
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
Bundle-Activator: com.self.learning.osgi.oauth.Activator
And here is what is shown in systems/console/bundle:

Regarding Export-Package, I know the function, class and its package I need to use. Would it be fine if I just export that package instead of using '*'? In such case, if this has dependency on some function in one of the 4 jar files I need to use, how does it get resolved? Do I need to Export those packages as well?

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>

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).

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.
