How to set conflicting MANIFEST jar name

[Marc Gagnon]

Hi,

I am using WSAD 5.1.0 and I would like to clarify how to set classpath in manifest.

In my dynamic web project, I want to use XStream which uses among other jars the xalan-2.4.1.jar and xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar (with these exact names).

In my DefaultEAR project, I copied xalan-2.4.1.jar and xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar at the root of the project.

Back in the dyn. web project, I opened the properties, go in "Java JAR Dependencies" and I can see xalan-2.4.1.jar in the available dependent JARs (which lists the content of the DefaultEAR). I mark the xalan checkbox.

So far so good.

Back in the DefaultEAR, I now see the following error message:
"IWAE0024W The Manifest Class-Path for archive xalan-2.4.1.jar contains an entry xercesImpl.jar, that is now resolvable to a file or module in the EAR: DefaultEAR".

The Xstream (or other component) is using specific names like xalan-2.4.1.jar or xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar... But xalan-2.4.1.jar itself needs xercesImpl and its MANIFEST file has an entry without a version name for this.

What should I do? Should I rename xercesImpl-2.4.0.jar --> xercesImpl.jar?

Seems like I'm loosing an important visual information.

Is there a better way to handle utility jars?
