Using third party jars for my desktop app

Question

I'm trying to build a desktop application using ibm rational software architect. The application works perfectly with the third party jar(Apache Poi) and produces an output.

When I export the source code into a jar, the third party jar is not included and the app does not work on the third party jar dependent place.

Third part jar is placed in c:/apps and My source code is placed in c:/workspace/user/app

Answer 1

You should set classpath for your app.

This can be done by adding -cp <path.to.you.3rdparty.jar> to your starting command.

java -cp c:/apps/* -jar <path.to.jar>
