This is definitely a Java, Eclipse and Sonic Newbee question and I could use some help.
My workspace is made up of several projects. One project is is a core services project and other projects perform message group specific handling. The core project has:
- several Java Service Types which are working OK.
- some Java Classes to provide common services to the Service Types.
I created a new Java Service Type in one of the message handling services, which uses common Classes from the core project.
I added the core project to the project's Built Path and it all looked good.
When I uploaded the Service Type it failed to load with the message "Unable to find service class ....."
I tried adding the custom-services-classes.jar from the core project into the Service Type classloading but that didn't help.
In the interim I have copied the common code into the project and removed the reference to core project from the build path and the Service Type now loads OK, but that isn't a good long-term solution.
Can someone help me out with what I need to do to have Service Type code refer to Classes in another project?
Thanks
Steve
Steve,
you should simply create a jar from you core project, e.g. myCorePrj.jar. Once you have that add it to the service type classpath and you should be all set.

Thanks Thomas
That's about what I expected to do. The devil is in the "how". I've been a .net programmer for a few years so I don't have a problem with writing Java code, but I'm new to the Java environment and Eclipse. I've been struggling with getting it done.
I've created an Ant build but when it runs I get the error:
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK. It is currently set to "C:\Progress\Sonic\MQ8.0\jre"
but of course javac is in a JDK.
I have a JDK installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\
and have C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\\bin in my Windows PATH.
I have an Ant File that runs xjc.exe (JAXB) which is in the same place as javac and it runs fine.
Any hints? I really don't want to screw up my workbench configuration by trial and error fiddling with things I don't fully understand.
Regards
Steve
Well, if you don't want to fiddle with setting up the JDK and ANT you can also use Eclipse's export.
Go to File -> Export; Locate Java/Jar File and walk the wizard.
