Adding a new jar to common/lib in AS5.2

[ssilvert]

This is simply a thirdparty jar that needs to be in <JBOSS_HOME>/common/lib. I've followed the instructions in http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/jbossasbuild to get it into component-matrix and thirdparty/libraries.ent.

So now where do I add the Ant stuff to copy this jar over to <JBOSS_HOME>/common/lib? I see some different places I could hack it in, but I want to update the Ant script correctly.

Opinions/guidance please?

Thanks,

Stan

Probably the best place would be in the thirdparty target in build-distr.xml. You can copy the jar directly to ${install.common.lib} with a new copy task, or use the existing copy to ${install.all.lib}. It's pretty confusing in 5_x because a bunch of jars are copied to install.all.lib, and then later moved to install.common.lib in the partition-build target in build.xml.

I've changed this in trunk so it's more straightforward, and the jars are copied directly to install.common.lib in the thirdparty target in build.xml.

Yep, that's exactly what was confusing me.

Now it works. Thanks Paul.
