creating a plugin from existing JARs

Classic Servoy
1

Not sure if I am on the right track here.

I have a bunch of JARs supplied by a government agency that form a Client Adaptor, a black box which software developers can make use of to communicate with the govt department’s online system.

Will I be able to package these into a plugin, so Servoy can call the methods within, or do I need to work with the classes that are contained within in order to make a new Servoy plugin JAR.

BTW, BlueJ looks nice

You can go either way, when you are allowed to ‘play’ with the jars. The jars are nothing more than a zip file holding the classes you need to do your thing.

  1. You place the jars in a library directory in the plugins dir of Servoy and your plugin in the plugins dir points to them.
  2. You put all the classes into your own bean.

Have fun
