rasj.jar is not installed on make install

[Dimitar Misev]

rasj.jar should be installed to $RMANHOME/lib

[Bang Pham Huu]

Hey George,

Someone has added "applications/petascope/lib/rasj.jar" to ./gitignore

It should be added in petascope/lib/rasj.jar or when I open Petascope by Netbeans, it will have error with import class from org.odmg and rasj.

Do you mind if I upload this patch? (this has removed rasj.jar from gitignore).

Adding rasj in petascope dependencies is bad practice, since rasj is compiled differently for rnp and rasnet. The correct solution for this one is to put "java" folder as subdir for petascope. This way, "java" will be compiled before petascope and rasj.jar will be copied in the dependency list.

Add this line in Makefile.am in petascope and the issue will be fixed:

SUBDIRS=../../java

I think you should be more specific, you mean subdir in the Makefile.am SUBDIRS right?

This ticket is about installing rasj.jar into $RMANHOME/lib for example.

@Bang - rasj.jar has been added to .gitignore exactly because it shouldn't be pre-generated into the lib dir of petascope.

@Dimitar: year, I could understand from George's answer (as I don't know the reason before). What I would want to say here is for example: when clone new code, I could open project and doing instead of make or make install as it needs dependencies.

So as George said he could put "java" (this is a bit of confusing directory name) to Petascope properties then it does not complain with error when import.

Yes, I put the command in my first comment.

Is this a requirement? For rasj to be installed in the lib dir?

[Dimitar Misev]

I don't know if it should be installed in the lib dir, or if there's some other standard installation place? But we need to distribute it somehow with RPMs for example, it's a library for Java clients.

Close ticket here as patch was accepted, thanks.
