B4J Question B4J Packager 11 Standalone and even the new Integrated one. Error build

[DonManfred]

I am doing a wrapper for JDA (JavaDiscordApi).
It comes with a jar including all dependencies.

Using this when running the App from the IDE works fine (UI App).
But when i try to build a standalone exe it stops with the error that it can not find a dependency like Jackson Databind.

I then switched to single jars. Starting with the JDA jar without any dependency.
To get the app running from the IDE i need to add some jars. Doing this with some #additionaljar directives.

When i try to build a standalone exe it comes up with the same error not finding the dependencies.

Do i need to place the jars added by additionaljar at a special place (folder) for the internal packager to be able to find them???

Using this additionaljars it works when running the app from the IDE.

PD: I had the issue with the standalone packager but havn´t had the time to report it. I then saw the B4J Beta announcement and i tired again. With the same issue. So now i created this thread.

Create a new project with these lines:

#AdditionalJar: jackson-databind-2.10.0.jar
#AdditionalJar: jackson-core-2.10.1.jar
#AdditionalJar: jackson-annotations-2.11.0.jar

Build a package. Do you get this error?

If so, please upload the jars.

Open jackson-databind-2.10.1.jar and delete module-info.class. It will then build successfully. I expect it to work though you should of course test it.

It does not raise the old error. But it stuck now.

Unless I missed something it built properly here.

Try to add:

#PackagerProperty: ExcludedModules = com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation, com.fasterxml.jackson.core

This is only a guess.
