I DO want the jar files in the same path as my class file. I have tried
both setting the classpath cl arg and the CLASSPATH env var to the
current directory (.) to force the lookup, but to no avail.
When I created the double clickable JAR file using JAR Builder, I
explicitly added those two file to the class path. However, the ceated
JAR file didn't work for beans.
I could create an appleiscript (or shell script) to do the copy, but
that would still require sudo access unless there is a way to put them
into the users ~/Library somewhere.
Thanx,
joe

I have a small little Java app that I would like to package up and
deliver to my customers. Currently, it depends on 2 other jar files
for code and those need to be set into the /Library/Java/Home/lib/ext
directory for the application to work. I would like to make this as
easy as possible for my customers and not force them to drop to the
command line and do any 'sudo cp' commands to get this working. Is
there anyway for me to set my application up so that, at a minimum,
it can find the jar files in the local directory where the main class
file is?
A crude workaround might be to provide an AppleScript that can be
doubleclicked, which will copy the JAR files into the directory. But
why do those JAR files need to be in that particular directory?
If it is to put the contents of the JAR files onto the classpath, a
more elegant solution might be to specify the relative path to those
JARs in your app's JAR file's MANIFEST.MF. But that might not be why
you want those JAR files in that dir, so this suggestion might be
irrelevant.
