I've got a ClassLoader extending class with following method @Override public Class<?> findClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException { try { /** * Get a bytecode from file */ byte b[] = fetchClassFromFS(pathtobin + File.separator + className.replaceAll("\\.", escapeSeparator(F...
I have seen programs like http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/ and http://fjep.sourceforge.net/index.html promote rolling your application jar and any dependencies into a single, executable jar. What are the main reasons for/against doing this? ...
I need to import a couple of jars that where compiled under the full implementation of java. I know that Android doesn't use all the packages that java has to offer. My question is: Is it possible to import them without creating errors? Is there a tool that can convert jars to android jars? if so, can some examples be provided. Any help ...
Hello, an application I have written uses several third party jars. Sometimes only a small portion of the entire 50kB to 1.7mB jar is used - one or two function calls or classes. What is the best way to reduce the jar sizes. Should I download the sources and build a jar with just the classes I need? What existing tools can help automa...
I'm trying to have my application load a resource (binary file) transparently: If the file exists under the current directory, open it. If not, try looking in the current JAR file if applicable. If not, try looking in other JAR files. (This is optional and I don't mind explicitly specifying which JAR files.) So far I know of File which...
Hi. I have 204 total classes (most of the classes are inner classes). For months, I have been building fine with SCons (SCons just calls the jar command). For some reason, it stopped adding the last inner class for a particular class. For example, suppose I have the following classes: class1 class2 class3 class4 class5 class6 ... cl...
I have a dependency on clj-record in my CounterClockwise project. What's the best way to manage this? Copy the source code or compile to a JAR and add it as a referenced library? ...
Hello! I tried to write an applet that is able to create a PDF with an embedded font. Everything works as long as it is not in an JAR file. The following code part shows that I first create the AWT Font (which works fine with and without beeing stored in a JAR-file). Then I want to register an iText (5.0.3) font. But here comes the err...
I'm building an executable jar for a maven java project I have. It works great but I have a problem in that I want my config directory to live outside the jar so that I can change things easily if needed. I've got to the point where I have the jar being built without the config include and the the config directory is placed in the same ...

InputStream inputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(ENDINGS_FILE_NAME); ..... But after this inputStream is null. How to...
Hi, I have a maven project which uses the shade plugin to create a jar from several projects. In addition it is possible with this plugin to create a source jar from these several projects. For legacy reason we need to have one jar which contains classes and sources, so the combination of the two jars created by the shade plugin. Wha...
I know that, under typical conditions, a class is only loaded once. I also know that classes are immutable. Thus, once the class is loaded, it cannot be changed unless it is reloaded (which typically doesn't happen). Does the same thing hold true for Jars? What happens if a Jar is updated while a JVM is still running that had previously...
Where is the source code of the Jar program ? Specifically, looking for a way to implement the jar uvf feature to update or append to an existing archive. Looking at this bug report, there seems to be no hope of doing this from the regular Java JAR/ZIP API. ...
I am currently doing this: <jar update="yes" jarfile="${pwd}/dist/${release}_installer.jar"> <zipfileset src="${pwd}/dist/app.jar" includes="com/izforge/izpack/panels/**"/> <zipfileset src="${pwd}/dist/app.jar" includes="com/xyz/img/logo.png"/> </jar> My existing installer JAR gets updated to include the file...

I am trying to copy Demo.jar file (generated by an ant task) on my desktop(or any directory specified by it's absolute path on my XP machine). I am specifying absolute path in a properties file and reading it on the fly. The problem is I am not able to read this absolute path properly, where I want my Demo.jar to be copied. Absolute pa...
Hello, I have a basic executable JAR with manifest.txt containg the MainClass and some other jar dependencies. I wanted to move my config file, "application.properties" outside the jar into a directory where it's easy to configure/maintain. The java code does a simple ResourceBundle.getBundle('application.props') to load it. I have a...
Hello. I created a Java library with an ant file to build it into a JAR. When I use this JAR file from another Java project, the method parameter names appear as in Eclipse method hint/autocomplete: arg0, arg1, arg... for instance, the method: void publishStatus(String jobId, int count); appears as: void publishStatus(Str...
In Eclipse or NetBeans, when you "control + click" into a function, you can at least see its entire signature, even if it's in a jar file. I am wonderging if it's possible to write a tool to pull out all the function signatures from a jar file. Is there any API for this? I know jDepend seems to offer functions for this. However, I beli...
