Netbeans RCP - duplicate third party jar in “clusters/modules/ext” folder

Question

I have two Cluster in my Netbeans RCP project (Cluster A, and Cluster B).

Module M-A in Cluster A, has dependency to Module M-B in Cluster B. M-A ---> M-B

besides this, both modules (M-A and M-B) have dependency to a third party jar ( tp.jar ).

when i'm building my suite, I have tp.jar in 2 different places (two cluster) :
A/modules/ext/tp.jar and B/modules/ext/tp.jar

in consequence netbeans class loader finding 2 jar files in the class and is not able to load the any of them.

Any idea have to solve this issue ?

PS: I'm using Maven 2.X. and nbm plugin.

Regards,

Mohammad

Answer 1

You can create a wrapper module for your library (tp.jar) and let both modules depend on the wrapper module.
