Classpath including JAR within a JAR

Question

Is it possible to specify a Java classpath that includes a JAR file contained within another JAR file?

Answer 1

If you are building with ant (I am using ant from eclipse), you can just add the extra jar files by saying to ant to add them... Not necessarily the best method if you have a project maintained by multiple people but it works for one person project and is easy.

for example my target that was building the .jar file was:

    
        
        ................................
        
    

I just added one line to make it:

    
    
        ................................
    

where

was the dir with the external jars. And that's it...
