Hey all,

i read a lot of times that if you have an external jar, it is recommended to bundle it instead of adding it to the classpath in the Runtime tab of the manifest, but i could not find some reasons for this. In fact when i´m bundeling an external jar files, the bundle does the same (adding it to classpath in the runtime tab and export any package) so where is the difference?

Thanks for any reason or advice Wink

Rebundleing is better IMHO if multiple bundles in your env need it,
adding to your MANIFEST only makes sense it really is only used
internally - if it is part of ANY public API rebundleing is the way to go!

If you want to use standard jar, you can also check this Eclipse project : Orbit
The goal is to provide directly a repository of bundled versions of third party libraries.
