Description fommil 2008-07-27 00:32:22 UTC

I have a main method in one of my Web Application classes. I use it to run a parser to populate a database. However, my main method depends on a 3rd 
party library and Netbeans is not adding this library to the classpath (despite being correctly copied to the right place in the dist folder and war file). This is a 
bug... the run-main classes should have the library dependencies on their classpath.

Comment 1 fommil 2008-07-27 00:34:01 UTC

I just realised that the difficulty here may be because the 3rd party lib that I use is not in the Libraries, it is in the "Package with" list (i.e. the runtime library).

Reassigning to "web" for evaluation.

Comment 3 David Konecny 2008-09-16 02:29:51 UTC

Following could help: edit project.properties and edit debug.classpath (should have been named run.classpath) and add to
the end value ":${war.content.additional}" (that's the property which holds your runtime items to pack in WAR). Please
confirm if it resolved your issue. Perhaps war.content.additional property should have been always automatically in
debug.classpath?

Comment 4 Trey Spiva 2008-11-19 20:12:21 UTC

It sounds like this issue can be closed.  The reason is because the libraries where not place in the libraries, therefore where not placed on the classpath.
