在Linux中创建jar文件时如何包含外部jar文件？

Question

I have an external jar file mysql-connector-java-5.1.26 under /Users/remy/Downloads/mysql-connector-java-5.1.26/mysql-connector-java-5.1.26.jar . I want to create a jar file from hello.java which should include the external jar file as specified as well, where hello.java is dependent on the external jar file.

How to create the myManifest.txt and include the external jar file so as to compile and run them together?

Answer 1

There are two ways.

1. Create a MANIFEST.MF that refers to the other jar in its classpath
2. Whenever you run the program, make sure you include both jars in your classpath.

That said, I think you should go back and read a tutorial because you've made a few mistakes in your question.

• "hello.java" is not a jar file as you've said. This is a java source file. It will be compiled into a class file. You can take this class file and put it in a jar file.
• You can't name your manifest file "myManifest.txt" AFAIK. It has to be named something specific and be located in a specific place. Read a tutorial to see the details on that.
