Add an external library as a dependency in module.xml

Question

I have different packages in my project. In one of these I have a folder containing a particular library (zip file).

Another jar (let's call it JAR_A ) depends on this library. Until now in the module.xml of this JAR_A , I have added some dependencies, which were structured as module themselves in JBoss structure (or else they are located in a folder main with the respective file module.xml ).

Thanks to the name attribute contained in module.xml , I was able to add the dependency in the module.xml of my JAR_A .

Now, as the external library (zip file) is not a module and doesn't have it's module.xml file with a name specified....how can I refer to it in order to add it's dependency in JAR_A ?

Answer 1

For one module to depend on another module you can use the dependencies XML block like in Maven.

<dependencies>
        <module name="moduleNameOfModuleWithJAR_A"/>
</dependencies>
