I have an MyEclipse EJB Project.

I want to deploy the EJB jar file with the jar files it depends on.

For example, the EJB jar file depends on hibernate.jar.

Typically, this means that the MANIFEST.MF file under META-INF of the jar file will have an entry specifying a classpath.

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: <classpath here>

The Class-Path in the Manifest will contain all the jar files that the EJB depends on.

I would expect (and wrongly so… perhaps) that during deployment (from MyEclipse) it would look through all of the project’s jar files (in the .classpath) deploy the dependent jar files in a directory, i.e., express.jar.libs, and then add references to those jar files from the EJB jar file’s MANIFEST.MF->Class-Path setting.

Does MyEclipse support this? If not what do you reccomend. If so? How do I set this up?

Rick,

I would expect (and wrongly so… perhaps) that during deployment (from MyEclipse) it would look through all of the project’s jar files (in the .classpath) deploy the dependent jar files in a directory, i.e., express.jar.libs, and then add references to those jar files from the EJB jar file’s MANIFEST.MF->Class-Path setting.

Yep, that would be smokin’ hot, but we’re not quite there yet. 🙂 We’ll be doing a lot more in regard to this when we tackle dependent projects and the flexible project mods that are slated for version 2.8. However, right now, we do support the deployment of everything, but you just have to add your jars to your project and manually modify your manifest classpath as you’ve indicated. We’ll get there though.

Cool… Not a problem. Thanks.
