Create a JAR Profile and Include the Artifacts to Share

To create a JAR profile and include the artifacts to share:

  1. In the Applications window, right-click the SOA project.
  2. Select Project Properties.

    The Project Properties dialog appears.

  3. Click Deployment in the navigational tree on the left.
  4. Click New.

    The Create Deployment Profile dialog appears.

  5. From the Archive Type list, select JAR File.
  6. In the Name field, enter a name (for this example, shared_archive is entered).

    The Create Deployment Profile dialog looks as shown in Figure 48-19.

  7. Click OK.

    The JAR Deployment Profile Properties dialog appears.

  8. Select JAR Options from the navigational tree on the left.
  9. Deselect Include Manifest File (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF), as shown in Figure 48-20.

    This prevents the archive generator from adding the manifest file (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) into the JAR file.

  10. Select File Groups > Project Output > Contributors from the navigational tree on the left.
  11. Deselect the Project Output Directory and Project Dependencies options, as shown in Figure 48-21.

    This prevents the archive generator from adding the contents of the project output and project dependencies into the archive.
