Packaging addtional JARs with extension

[ptc-6607495]

So I'm building an extension that utilizes existing JAR files.  I do not know the proper build syntax to include additional Third Party JAR files in the extension file.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi Cooper,

I'm not sure if this is the right way, but in my ant build-extension.xml file, in the "package-extension" task, just below
<zipfileset dir="${config.dir}" includes="metadata.xml" />
I add
<mappedresources>
                <fileset dir=".\lib" includes="your.jar" />

                &lt;globmapper from="" to="${package.lib.basedir}/common/"/&gt;
</mappedresources>

I repeated this for each jar.

Then, in the metadata.xml required by the TW server to import the extension, you add in the <JarResources>
one entry per jar, like this:
  <FileResource type="JAR" file="your.jar" description="" />

This definitely works in my case, but please tell me if it worked in your case, as I am not very familiar with ant.

BR,
Vladimir

As usual, Vladimir is correct ; ) This is exactly what is required to reference third-party JAR files in a ThingWorx extension.
