How to attach libraries to JAR file?

It works fine when the project is compiled, but after exporting it to a runnable jar and launching, it can't find external jar files and throws an error. What should I do?

Solution

  • You could attempt building a fat jar that includes all the jars. It contains a custom class loader to load the jars referenced externally by your project.

    Try using http://fjep.sourceforge.net/ plugin to build a fat jar.

    You can export a java project containing jars using the File -> Export -> Other -> One Jar Exporter.

    enter image description here

    The jar thus exported works fine.
