I dont know if wrapping is the right word here. Basically I have a java application (app1) with a menu bar and a big Panel. There is another tool (app2) in .jar format which has it own UI. I want to call app2 from app1 so that the UI of app2 opens in app1 defined panel. is this possible? Many thanks for any suggestion or inputs.

  • You want to include the `app2`'s jar file within the classpath of `app1` (AKA a library) – MadProgrammer Feb 25 '16 at 21:54
  • A detailed answer to this very broad question would depend on the API of the second application. – trashgod Feb 25 '16 at 22:04
  • @trashgod the app2 jar is a big application with no API documentation, even no comments on code. But anyways, I think you are right I need to go through app2 jar's individual classes and methods. I tried calling app2 from app1, the application opens but not where I wanted. – JstRoRR Feb 26 '16 at 11:34
  • This [example](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11944233/230513) may be helpful; also consider whether you could more easily add app1 to app2. – trashgod Feb 26 '16 at 15:46
  • @trashgod Thanks for the link. I will give it a try. – JstRoRR Feb 26 '16 at 16:08
