The current 1.5.1 deployment provides a reference to an existing handle.jar which is retrieved from the maven repository and placed into the installed dspace/lib and dspace/webapp/*/WEB-INF/lib when DSpace is built.
The Maven build process works best when one does not try to alter the jars provided in the lib directory. I recommend reading up on the Maven build process via the documentation provided and that found on the maven.apache.org website. There is no "lib" directory in the 1.5.1 source tree because it retrieves the dependencies from maven directly rather than you downloading them. If you do truly need to change this jar for a newer version, we had a recent conversation on the list about installing jars if you need to use something different than what we provide. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ msg05386.html I will ask why are you trying to alter the existing handle.jar? The current one we publish into the maven repository (which your build has downloaded) should be adequate for DSpace 1.5.1 and the current Handle service. Are you encountering problems running the handle service?
