Kevan,
Thanks for the info. I wasn't able to get the modification to
the
.bat/.sh files working properly with the -classpath options
(although I
might have been setting something wrong); however, changing the
MANIFEST.MF
file in the server.jar did do the trick (which was kind of nice
because I
could just copy it to our linux distro), and I was able to add my
custom
jars to the classpath through that means. I think I might go ahead
and make
a Jira for this -- I think it would be a nice thing to be able to
do moving
forward in a much easier fashion.
Thanks again for your help!
Hi Eric,
No problem. I'm glad to hear you got things working. Please do raise
a jira -- I'd really like to see us improve these pain points...
I'm not entirely certain how an external CLASSPATH and MANIFEST.MF
might interact. I do seem to recall that if you use 'java -jar
server.jar', the jre ignores your external CLASSPATH setting and only
observes the MANIFEST.MF setting... I hoped that invoking java as
'java <main-class-name>' would avoid this issue, but could easily be
mistaken...
