One-Jar for Applet

Question

I have an applet that needs to import another libraries. I used Apache Ant to build this applet and libraries into same jar files, but there is no way to connect classes with libraries. I got NoClassDefFoundError.

Because of that I decided to use one-jar with Ant. One-jar creates a jar files that contains libraries and classes. But classes that I wrote are in another jar inside of main jar. Directory looks like below :

• main.jar
  • com
  • doc
  • lib
  • main
    • applets.jar
      • MyApplet.class

I need to access MyApplet class in applets.jar file but problem is that how can I import my applet class which is in second jar. It's not possible to write second attribute in applet tag.

Is there any option in one-jar to build only one jar with libraries? What should I use?

Answer 1

It's not possible to write second attribute in applet tag.

Then it is a good thing there is no need to. The archive attribute of the applet element can list multiple Jars, which is how you should approach this.
