Understanding Java Libraries in Design Studio

There are several types of Java libraries available in Design Studio:

Activation libraries

Activation libraries are utilized by many cartridges and include the following:

studio_2_6_0.jar
asaplibcommon.jar
JInterp.jar

Activation libraries are automatically added to the project when you create an action processor. They are added to the project classpath to enable the Java development toolkit access.

Notes:

The studio_2_6_0.jar file is not installed by the ASAP installation. The studio_2_6_0.jar must be added to the ASAP installation prior to deployment of a Design Studio-created cartridge. Configure the studio_2_6_0.jar, asaplibcommon.jar, and JInterp.jar files on the server. See the discussion of installing a cartridge using Design Studio in ASAP Installation Guide.
When you are packaging a cartridge, exclude the studio_2_6_0.jar, asaplibcommon.jar, and JInterp.jar files. These JAR files are installed on the Activation server and are shared by all cartridges If you include these JAR files, Design Studio generates an error.

Other Libraries

Add other libraries to the lib folder under the project. Update the Java project properties to set the Java buildpath to make use of those libraries. See Eclipse help for adding folder or packages to the Java buildpath.

In the Project editor Packaging tab, select Libraries to display any jar files contained in the lib folder.
