Ah, yes!

<manifestEntries> did the trick.

You're a savior. Thank you!

For those hunting, here is the updated build portion of the pom:

You can do all of this in the pom.xml.



Hi Stephan,

Thanks for replying.

I've tried this approach before, but the Class-Path in the executable jar's MANIFEST.MF still doesn't include "lib/token.jar". So when a user copies theirs into the lib directory, it isn't in the classpath and can't be found.

Relevant parts of pom.xml:



And here's the MANIFEST.MF from the decompiled jar:



Unfortunately, the token.jar isn't available at build time, so I just need it to exist on the class-path so when it IS copied into the 'lib' directory, it is recognized.

Hi all,

Simplifying the problem, I have Maven building an executable JAR, with its dependencies being loaded into target/lib

target
- lib
- executable-1.0.jar

Now, let's say I want to reference a DAT file located within a token.jar file that isn't added to the lib directory during the build, but instead whoever is running it would copy their token.jar into the lib directory. How can I add "lib/token.jar" to the Class Path of the executable JAR if the file doesn't exist during build?

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement an export functionality to a webapp I've developed. The whole workflow is there's an Elasticsearch query, the results are stored in Arraylist of Article classes, which just contains strings.

Now, within this article class, there's a 'Text' field that has a large text body with line breaks in the middle of it.

When I do a System.out.println(Article.getText()); , I get the properly spaced output in console. However, when I do the export to the .doc file, the linefeeds are replaced with unknown characters ("?"). See attached image.



Here's my code to write the export at this point:



Is there a way to determine what that character is that is giving me the ?'s in Word and replace it with System.getProperty("line.separator") ? I just don't know how to go about finding what that character would be in Java.

Thanks in advance!
