Java：将JAR文件添加到另一个Jar文件的类路径中

Question

I have a Jar(suppose jar1) file which needs few other jar files(Present in the same directory suppose myjar1.jar and myjar2.jar and so on) during the runtime. I am not able to do that using manifest file. I have added below

   Class-Path: myjar1.jar 

and also

      Class-Path: ./*

I am creating the Jar(jar1) in my local and pushing it to the server. During compilation and building the Jar(jar1) I dont know the jars(and I dont need them for compilation) that I have to add to the class path. Once I copy it to the server I want other jars present in that directory to be in the class path of my Jar(jar1).

PS I have read almost all the articles about adding the classpath to Jar and I am aware that we cannot add classpath as part of the arguments.

I have total control of the manifest file while compiling and building the Jar.

Answer 1

You have to include all the dependent JAR files in your manifest file as below. Use blank space as a separator.

Class-Path: lib/myjar1.jar lib/myjar2.jar

After building your JAR file, extract the JAR and check whether the manifest file is created properly.
