JARs and Manifest

[Jason Cavett]

From what I can tell, it is not possible ( via
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html ),
but just in case there's an alternative work-around method
(Ant...something else?), is it possible for me to include a JAR file
within my project's JAR file and still access that internal JAR file?

Thanks

Actually, as a follow-up, if a JAR within a JAR is not possible - what
is a good way to deploy a project from Eclipse so everything is
deployed to the appropriate location?

Sure. You would need to download and expand that
to a separate archive before doing any further class or
resource loading from it, but it is possible.

Web start.
