Error description
Abstract: Attempts to use classes from JAR files located in the lib folder of an EAR project fails. Problem: - Have an EAR project in which a lib folder is present and in which utility jar files are present. - Create a J2EE Utility Project that is associated with the EAR project. - Note for the utility project under Properties ? Java Build Path ? Libraries ? EAR Libraries none of the utility libraries found in the EAR project's lib folder are listed. - Select the following on the EAR project Properties ? Deployment Assembly and edit the deploy path of the utility project so that it is no longer in /lib. - The utility project now lists the utility jars for the EAR. Local fix: (a) Add the utility jars in EAR50/lib as jars to Java Build Path?Libraries of {Some Java Utility Project} using [Add Jars] or (b) change deployment path of {Some Java Utility Project(s)} to EAR50/ (== EAR root) Note: The small negative, is that for runtime purposes the {Some Java Utility Project(s)} will not be available by default to the EAR modules the way anything in EAR50/lib is. They would need to be explicitly added to the MANIFEST classpath of any JEE Module in that EAR.
