Best way to include 3rd party jarfiles in WEB-INF/lib [message #151201]

Folks,

I want to programmatically add some 3rd party jarfiles to a dynamic web
project WEB-INF/lib, which need to be deployed to target server. What is
the best way to do this?

I know it would be better not to physically copy jarfiles to WEB-INF/lib.
Is there a better way to link jarfiles to the lib directory? Ideally
creating a library and link this library to the lib directory would be
better solution?

Also I want to copy a template.jsp to WebContent directory. Looks like
direct copy would be the only choice?

Thanks

William

I have done something similar using a nature, I add a Nature to my Dynamic
Web Projects and it adds the files (jars and jsps) I need to the appropriate
location, Still done by copying, but its programatic. If I could link like
you were talking about that would benefit me also, so I will watch this
thread. The only drawback is it the jars are constantly changing I have to
update my plugin often.

There is an example nature wizard in plugin.xml extensions page. Hope this
helps

Use the new WTP project facet to add a classpath initializer during
install and remove the classpath initializer during remove. I think the
wtp.jsf project has this.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks Dan!

Is there a simple example for doing that? The way that JSFLibraryRegistry
does is complicated.

Thanks

Currently not so far I know. The project facet I'm working on copies the
libraries from an install location into the WEB-INF/lib directory during
facet installation (CVS module de.strutsbox.core on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/strutsbox).
