Dear All,

I am using Myeclipse for my J2EE development and I am having pakaging problem of the java utility project. Below are the details of my configuration:

2 EJB projects (EJBHome1 and EJBHome2)
1 Web project (WEBHome)
1 java utility project that contains libraries and common classes (COMMONHome).
1 Enterprise project (Home) that have the 2 EJB modules and 1 Web module.

I have the constraint of naming convention meaning that these names need to be kept as is. I have followed the instructions from Myeclipse for the packaging of the utility project on the root of the ear. This works fine but the generated jar file name for the utility project (only) is lowercase (commonhome.jar instead of COMMONHome.jar) this makes the generated ear to fail on UNIX platforms. How can this be solved in MyEclipse.
I am using Myeclipse 5.5 eclipse 3.2.2 with jdk1.4.2.

Could you please help me on that. Thanks.

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Can you please switch to a new workspace, create a new ear project and check if this problem persists.

I have also tried on another installation (with a different workspace then) under XP the same problem happens.

ibrahim_theo,
Instead of trying another installation of the same version, can you download MyEclipse 6.0.1 and try this out on the latest version of MyEclipse.

Nipun,

I solved partly the problem by keeping the “lower case” generated utility project and updating my respective manifest files for each module. This works on the UNIX platforms. I’ve tried Myeclipse 6.0.1 earlier and I am having the same behaviour.

ibrahim_theo,
I just checked with my team and what you are getting is expected behavior. When you add a dependent java project and if you set the EAR project preference to deploy dependent java projects, then there is an additional step that you have to do before deployment. You have to rightclick the EAR project and under MyEclipse menu there is a New Module manifest option. This will regenerate the /META-INF/manifest.mf files for both the dependent EJB and WEb module. So in your deployment when you inspect the manifest files you will see that they make a reference to the “commonhome.jar” file. So yes it does lowercase the filename but it also makes it consistent in the corresponding manifest.mf files.

Nipun,

Many thanks I got it working now. Thanks for the help.
