classpath

My team handles several Java projects using Eclipse, and shares the code using a code repository. When a developer adds, removes or updates a jar file, the build is broken for everybody else, until they update their build path in Eclipse. This process involves cumbersome email synchronization. For several reasons, we have decided not to commit the .classpath file to the repo. Instead, we came up with the following idea: Each project will have a committed file, say jars.list , which contains a list of jar files (and patterns). A script will convert this file into a local .classpath for eclipse.

When using Class.getResource() and supplying a rather common resource name, like "license.html" , Java may load a "license.html" resource from another JAR file which is listed earlier in the CLASSPATH, but may be completely unrelated to my application. Is there a way to force the ClassLoader to first try to load the resource from the same JAR file which my class is in and only if not found, look in other JARs on the CLASSPATH? Alternatively you could use the JarURLConnection if you know the exact jar in which your file resides: jar:<url>!/{entry} ..common resource name, like "license.html"' A

I'm trying to read a file in my maven project at /src/main/resources/file.txt. I'm using URL url=this.getClass().getResource("/"); String filePath=url.getPath()+"file.txt"; url object gets the correct value when this is run thru eclipse. But, when I package the jar and run it in command line: jar -cp myjar.jar SampleTest It returns null for 'url' object and throws a NullPointerException in the next line. I have openend my Jar file using file browser and checked. It has the 'file.txt' in "/" location inside the Jar. Where am I going wrong ? There are (often) no directories inside jar files.

Does anyone know why I'm getting the below error? I read through answers of similar questions, which recommended using Leiningen, which I've done below and still get the error.

I would like to be able to run the java program in a specific directory. I think, that it is quite convenient to parametrize working directory, because it allows to easily manage configurations. For example in one folder you could have configuration for test, in other you could have resources needed for production. You probably think, that there is option to manipulate classpath for including/exluding resources but such solution works only if you are interested in resources stored in classpath and referencing them using Classloader.getResource(r) . But what if you have some external

I have a resource (velocity template) which I'd like to be able to swap during development. However, getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream() seems to cache the template. Is there a way to disable this besides using a file loader instead of the class loader? To avoid caching you can use: getClass().getClassLoader().getResource().openStream() It would be equal to using URLResourceLoader for Velocity instead of ClasspathResourceLoader I suppose. I would just go with a file loader. See if something like this helps (exception handling omitted): URL res = getClass().getClassLoader()

I am trying to run a sample application from HttpClient 4.0.1. It is the file ClientMultiThreadedExecution.java from the examples section. I put in these files in the classpath: apache-mime4j-0.6.jar ; commons-codec-1.3.jar ; commons-logging-1.1.1.jar ; httpclient-4.0.1.jar ; httpcore-4.0.1.jar ; httpmime-4.0.1.jar and the file compiles correctly. At runtime I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest at java.net

I have a JAR file that contains an application as well as configuration files for that application. The application loads configuration files from the classpath (using ClassLoader.getResource() ), and has its dependencies completely satisfied using the configuration files baked into the JAR file. On occasion I want the application to be run with a slightly different configuration (specifically I want to override the JDBC URL to point to a different database) so I create a new configuration file, store it in the correct directory structure (which means in a directory /config of a classpath
