Re: [orbit-dev] Adding an existing JAR to Orbit

[Nicholas Loulloudes <loulloudes.n@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roland,

For me the only option available in Eclipse concerning the JAR, is to create a Plug-In project from a JAR.

I cannot find a command that allows exploding a JAR to an existing project and automatically changing manifest and dependencies.

Can you please provide me with some directions?

If following step #1, creating the standard CVS structure (i.e empty HEAD,
directing to branches) is easy to do so. Nevertheless, how do you explode
the JAR correctly here?

The Orbit build process will re-generate the jar while also signing it. The
Eclipse IDE has a command to "explode" the contents of the jar into an
existing project. You could also simply do this from the commandline, but the
Eclipse UI provides some nice additions, analyzing for dependencies and
additional changes to the final manifest.

Best,

Nicholas
