java-programmer, reference to a jar file inside another jar file Hi, I need create a manifest file for a jar, but I need set the classpath in
the manifest file to reference a jar file inside the current jar file. My
idea is getting a single jar file which contains all the needed jar files.

This is not possible IIRC: you'll have to copy the .jar files in the same
directory as the current .jar file, or package their contents in the
current .jar file.

Read
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html>
to get some clues about URLs for files inside a jar file.

Having read this, I've got the vague idea, that an URL like
jar:file:outerfile.jar!innerfile.jar
contained in the manifest's classpath might do the trick.
