How to import jar of jars

Classpath including JAR within a JAR

I would like to know if it is possible to import a jar of jars. I am trying to load openehr_ref_impl_java-1.0.1.jar which is a jar of jars, but the instances of classes aren`t being referenced. First I copy the jar to the lib folder(located in my project folder) -> right click -> build path -> add to build path.

I tried unzipping the .jar file which works - the classes are referenced, but I figured since there is also a jar of jars for the javadoc (openehr_ref_impl_java-1.0.1_javadocs.jar), there might be a simpler solution.

did you try `java -jar openehr_ref_impl_java-1.0.1.jar`? may be its self-exploding. — mazaneicha, May 25 '12 at 11:08

The page you linked also offers the component Jars. The implication is that the 'one Jar of all components' is simply for convenience of distribution/download.

So the answer would be:- Extract the Jars first, add each to the compile/run-time class-path as you would for any regular Jar.

I downloaded it. Project name (right click) -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External Jars -> Your Jar of Jars.

It works for me.

I tried that, but if I try to import something like "import se.acode.openehr.parser;" it does not see it. – TheAptKid May 25 '12 at 11:19
I can see it now, you're right. – Doszi89 May 25 '12 at 14:11
