Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to select an IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software project folder of a project ouside the workspace as the JAR file's export destination using a path relative to the workspace results instead of an absolute path to the external project.
Symptom
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new Java project, selecting Create project from existing source and using a nonexistent, temporary directory outside the workspace.
- Select menu File > Export..., choose a
.jarfile, and click Next - Select the new project in the Resources to Export
- Browse for export destination, select the project folder and enter a filename (
example.jar). - Click Finish
Actual result:
A workspace relative path is shown as the destination. When finishing the export, RAD asks if it should create the folder inside the workspace and if confirmed, the Jar is exported into the new folder within the workspace.
Expected result:
The jar is stored in the project directory outside the workspace.
Cause
This issue has been identified as a product defect and logged under APAR PM31352.
Resolving The Problem
WORKAROUND:
Type the full path to the project directory outside the workspace into the export destination box manually.
