There are class loaders available that do support this functionality and I believe some IDE's such as Eclipse can package jars in jars by providing such a classloader.
If your jar is working on Windows and not Unix it may be picking up the classes from external jars without you realising it.
Yes, you may be correct.
But m sure that in "Windows" there is nowhere specified to pickup the required jar files. Thus there is no way that
java program(Windows OS) is picking up the jar files from external source.
Can you tell me about how to load the jar files within jar ?? i.e. which utility to use , any example etc....
Thanks,
