Hi all,

I want to add a .jar file which can be executed separately (like "java -jar A.jar") to my recorded Java Code.I've read this wiki http://everest2.us.oracle.com/wiki/Generic_JAR_Project about how to add a .jar file to "Assets", however, I cannot figure out how to use the .jarr file in Java code,I mean , how to get this .jar file like the method the databank added in "Assets"?

Things I did are as followed:

1.Execute my .jar file in OpenScript Java code with absolute path like this:
String cmd = "C:\Users\A.jar";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
This does work, but must set a absolute path in Java code like "C:\User\A.jar" ,which is not the workaround I want (I need my scripts can be run on other machines).

2.Try to get its current path with following codes:
File directory = new File(".");
String currentPath=directory.getCanonicalPath();
However,though this can get its absolute path (which is the the project path) in Eclipse like "C:\Users\Workspace\testProject", this only gets "C:\OracleATS\openScript" in OpenScript.
I thought to copy my .jar file to the project path , got its current path in java code first,then can know the path of .jar file, but this workaround failed because of the above reason.

I notice that in the "Assets" there are "Databanks","Object Libraries","JAR Files","Scripts". Since the databanks and scripts that added to "Databanks" and "Scripts" can be got or run in Java Code like:
*getDatabank("DatabankName").getNextDatabankRecord(); String data = eval("{{db.DatabankName.data}}");*
*or getScript("ScriptName").run();*

*Is there a method to get and run the jar file added to "Assets\JAR Files" like the above?*
Thank you very much!
