Linking Jars

Show all headers | View raw

Lets say you have two jars and you want to treat them logically as
one.   This might happen if your program needs some third party
library.  What are your options?

1. mention the second jar in the -classpath

2. install the jar in the ext directory

3. extract the members you need from the library and add them all to
the main jar.  

4. extract the members you need from the library and add them to the
main jar. (How do you find out which you need, especially for a
plug-in that dynamically loads classes.)

5. Use JNLP where you can specify secondary jars.

Are there any other options?

Is there anything comparably WORA and free to JNLP for installing
ordinary apps so that they look like C apps to Windows users.

For me, the appeal of computer programming is that
even though I am quite a klutz,
I can still produce something, in a sense
perfect, because the computer gives me as many
chances as I please to get it right.
