My problem is with a project where I use the POI library. It's from apache and allows you to work with excel,word, ... . I had to add some jar files to my library and it runs perfect. The problem is when I put my JAR file somewhere else. It gives me the errors it can't find the librarys. Is there a way I can put my librarys into the 1 jar?

I already tried to add my lib folder as source package but that didn't help.

there is a Maven plugin for Eclipse called M2Eclipse, which will read a POM and construct a classpath out of jars it finds in the local repository and any remote repositories you've configured. It behaves largely like Maven does in terms of finding the latest version for a given jar (if you've specified a version range in your POM).

NetBeans builds your application into the project's dist folder. There is also a readme file in it, that tells you, you should distribute the contents of that folder...

Edit

Remove the lib folder, that is shown on the second image, from your sources.

  • Well I use netbeans and there is no read me in it. And I don't want to sent the whole folder to someone I just want to send them the jar. – Bert Vervaele Apr 06 '17 at 13:02
  • If the type of the project is application, there is a `dist/README.TXT` after building, witch contains the following line: To distribute this project, zip up the dist folder (including the lib folder) and distribute the ZIP file. – Usagi Miyamoto Apr 06 '17 at 13:08

You want to make a 'shaded' or 'uber' jar, which has all of its dependencies included

There is a maven plugin for building a shaded jar.

For me the fastest/ easiest solution was to just open my project in eclips and export is a runable JAR then it adds the librarys to the JAR.
