ADF Project Dependencies and External JAR Management

vijay dasariMay 15 2025

Studio Edition Version 12.2.1.4.0

I'm working on an ADF application with separate Model and View projects. I've already added the Model project as a dependency to the View project, which allows the View project to access the Model's classes.

Now I need to add some external JAR files to my Model project for report generation functionality. I also need to use these same external JARs in my View project.

My question is: Do I need to generate the Model project as a JAR file and add it to the View project to make the external JARs available in the View project? Or will the existing dependency relationship between the projects automatically make the Model project's external JAR dependencies available to the View project?

In other words, if I add external JARs to my Model project, will my View project (which depends on the Model) automatically have access to those external JARs? Or do I need to add the same external JARs separately to both projects?

I'd appreciate any guidance on the best practice for managing these dependencies in an ADF application.
