B4J Question Compiling to library

[Daestrum]

I understand that using compile to library the main module is ignored and not output to the library jar/xml.

If the module that will become the library relies on jars loaded by the main module
#additionalJar: …. as you cannot put #additionaljar: in the module.

These do not get imported into the library jar, thus the library will not work unless you put all the additionaljar lines in the main module of the app using the library.

Is there a way to force the additional jars to be put into the library?

The #AdditionalJar libraries will be included in the generated XML. Open the XML file and you will see it.

Yes I see that , maybe I was unclear. I meant copy the jars into the library jar so it needs no external references.

If I compile an app I get a jar size of 30+meg which has the additional jar classes in.
The library jar is 3k and does not have the classes in from the additional jars

It has nothing to do with the main module being ignored. Libraries shouldn't include other jars. It is better to reference other jars. If you do want to merge the jars then you will need to do it yourself.

Thank you for the explanation.
