ClassDefNotFound Exception - external external jars

[Matthias Günter]

Hi, 

got the error using a function in JIRA plugin, which has dependencies to a external jar (call it FIRSTJAR).

The difficult is, that the external jar has dependencies on other jars like commons-codecs (OTHERJAR1) and so on...

I got the FIRSTJAR resolved by a dependency entry in pom.xml - I added the FIRSTJAR to my local maven repository. 

Now i'am getting the ClassDefNotFoundException when I try to use functions of FIRSTJAR

How can this be done in a more common way? 

Thanks and cheers, 

Matt

Hi,

Have you import the package you need?

Thanks for your reply... now i found the solution: atlas-package in the plugin and all worked for me! In the <dependency> you need then <scope>compile</scope> Cheers, Matt
