I have a simple Hello World project in AnyPoint Studio. I have folder of additional files (a few jar files and some configuration files) I want to include with the project so they can get published to the cloud (CloudHub). How do I include these files into my project so when I publish my application the additional files are packaged with them.
Part 2 - Say I have a json file I want to read from my Mule application. What path do I reference the json file with after it is published?
Mule 4 projects are Maven based. You need to reference those jar files as Maven dependencies. You might need to install those projects in your local Maven repository. Search for Maven tutorials if needed. Ideally those JAR files are available in Maven repositories and you add only the dependency snippet in your pom.xml. If you are building yourself you can use mvn install command. If they are third party JAR files that you have the file only you have to use the mvn install but you need to define the coordinates (groupId, artifactId, version) yourself, which is not ideal and Maven won't be able to do automatic dependencies resolution for those JAR files. See this answer for details.
In your source project resource files should be in src/main/resources. At execution time you don't need to add a directory. If you add the file in a subdirectory of src/main/resources you need to use the subdirectory name only.

I am distributing a Java package via git for other people to use. I am currently supplying a jar file to go with the source. This way, the user only needs to clone the project once into Intellij IDEA. Projects using the package can then follow this procedure
Correct way to add external jars (lib/*.jar) to an IntelliJ IDEA project
to use the package.
This works, but distributing a jar does not feel nice security-wise. On the other hand, this discussion
IntelliJ IDEA - adding .java file to project dependencies
suggests that to use the source code, you need to copy it into your src folder.
Is there a way to distribute source code (java files) only so that if multiple projects use the same package
the package only needs to be downloaded once
the package can be kept up to date with git pull?
I would really recommend not include jar or any binaries in a Git repo and the best approach to keep these dependencies in a local Nexus repository and use maven or Gradle as your dependency management tool.
I found a working solution:
Supply an Ant build file with the package. The build file compiles classes and packages them into a jar file. The default target is building the jar, which depends on compiling the classes.
Provide users with instructions on how to set the given Ant build file as a build file in Intellij IDEA and build the default target.
Then instruct them to follow the steps in the first link above to add the jar as a dependency.
I have created a new Intellij project. But I can't use the third party jars in my project. I have the jars in a directory structure as follows:
repository/commons-logging/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
repository/commons-lang/commons-lang-2.1.jar
etc.
I want to add them just by pointing to the repository directory, but couldn't find any ways to add them.
But when I am using classes or API from that jars, the editor can't resolve the classes.
I have tried from Project Structure but can't configure it.
Go to File-> Project Structure-> Libraries and click green "+" to add the directory folder that has the JARs to CLASSPATH. Everything in that folder will be added to CLASSPATH.
Update:
It's 2018. It's a better idea to use a dependency manager like Maven and externalize your dependencies. Don't add JAR files to your project in a /lib folder anymore.
If, as I just encountered, you happen to have a jar file listed in the Project Structures->Libraries that is not in your classpath, the correct answer can be found by following the link given by #CrazyCoder above: Look here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-module-dependencies-and-libraries.html
This says that to add the jar file as a module dependency within the Project Structure dialog:
Open Project Structure
Select Modules, then click on the module for which you want the dependency
Choose the Dependencies tab
Click the '+' at the bottom of the page and choose the appropriate way to connect to the library file. If the jar file is already listed in Libraries, then select 'Library'.
On the Mac version I was getting the error when trying to run JSON-Clojure.json.clj, which is the script to export a database table to JSON. To get it to work I had to download the latest Clojure JAR from http://clojure.org/ and then right-click on PHPStorm app in the Finder and "Show Package Contents". Then go to Contents in there. Then open the lib folder, and see a bunch of .jar files. Copy the clojure-1.8.0.jar file from the unzipped archive I downloaded from clojure.org into the aforementioned lib folder inside the PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. Restart the app. Now it freaking works.
EDIT: You also have to put the JSR-223 script engine into PHPStorm.app/Contents/lib. It can be built from https://github.com/ato/clojure-jsr223 or downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/jg7s0c41t5ceu7o/clojure-jsr223-1.5.1.jar?dl=0 .
I have a project that uses IVY. My build script resolves the dependencies well.
I have a library (lets call it Project_libs) configured in IntelliJ iml file so that when I deploy the application the jars get published to the server.
I have an ant task ide-setup which copies the necessary jars from Ivy local repo to Project_libs so these jars are available to IDEA during deployement.
Lets say I make changes to a common library like utils.
Build the common library.
Go to the projects that declared this common library as a dependency and run ide-setup
Then start the server.
Is there a direct way in which I can configure IDEA to read the dependencies from the ivy.xml file instead of doing this convoluted process of setting up the whole thing.
I don't know anything about InelliJ IDEA, but I believe you could accomplish what you want using ant and IVY. From the IVY documentation
<ivy:buildlist reference="build-path" ivyfilepath="ivy/ivy.xml" leaf="mymodule">
<fileset dir="projects" includes="**/build.xml"/>
</ivy:buildlist>
Builds a list of build.xml files sorted according to the ivy.xml files found in an
ivy directory relative to those build files. Only build.xml files of modules which
have dependencies (direct or transitive) on mymodule are put in the result list.
So if you set leaf equal to utils, it could return you a list of build.xml files that depend on utils in dependency order. Then all you would have to do is go through those build.xml files in order and invode their build process (probably through a subant call)
Is it possible to convert project .classpath file to pom.xml after converting a simple web application project to maven project? Because if my project uses many jars and I want to convert it to maven then I will do configure->convert to maven but then it is not possible to add all the jars dependencies in pom.xml manually. So is there any tool to convert this.
First there is no tool to do such things. The problem is usually that you have a larger number of dependencies which you don't need to put into the pom.xml file, cause Maven handles transitive dependencies which means you only need to add only direct dependencies. The best thing is to look at the current projects jar files and try to find them in Maven Central and cut&paste the information form the search output into your pom. And of course test the build via Maven on command line.
I have a EAR -
This EAR contains multiple WAR
Inside these WAR files there is a common JAR which is getting downloaded within each WAR file.
I want to remove this common JAR file into a shared Library. Also i want the latest version of JAR file everytime i rebuild my WAR, I am using Tomcat in Dev and Websphere min production.
We are using IVY for dependency management, Now. I have removed the common jar from the war file, but i dont know how to access the latest version of jar and download it in the shared library everytime i restart my server.
Can anyone help on this.?
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/dependency.html
You'll need to add a dependency to your ivy.xml file, something along the lines of:
<dependency org="com.orgname" name="jarname" rev="latest.release"/>
Is this a JAR file you make yourself, or is it publicly available? If you make it yourself, you will have to publish it in a repository somewhere in your system.
