Projects with long dependent class path in manifest file do not build

Troubleshooting


Problem

Modules that have dependent JAR files with long directory paths fail to build successfully when you use the serviceDeploy tool or when you import the project to WebSphere® Integration Developer.

Symptom

The following message is written to the serviceDeploy logs, and the Enterprise Archive (EAR) file does not build correctly:


      ENTRY com.ibm.ws.sca.rapiddeploy.headless 2 0 2008-05-19 14:46:49.899
      !MESSAGE Severity: [error]
      Description: IWAE0014E An error occurred validating the MANIFEST.MF file
      in archive ABC-lib-frg-inst.jar.
      Resource: ABC-ent-frg-institusjonsoppholdApp
Note: Check the new MANIFEST.MF file for the failing module. You can see an additional blank line after a long class path:

      Manifest-Version: 1.0
      Class-Path: copiedjars/xxxxxx-xxxxxxxr-xxxxxxxxxxxxxr-inst-ejb-2.0.3.
      D1-client/xxxxxxxxxxxx-fellesregister-inst-ejb-2.0.3.D1-client.jar

      abc-lib-provider-fellesregister-inst-ejb-2.0.3.D1-client.jar
      sssssss-commons-lib.jar
      ServiceLibrary: true

Cause

The problem is caused by a problem in ArchiveManifestImpl in the org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.core.<versionNumber>.jar plug-in.

Bugzilla bug#233801 has been opened to fix the problem

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=233801

Environment

The problem has occurred in WebSphere Application Server V6.1.13 and WebSphere Process Server V6.1.0, and in WebSphere Application Server V6.1.1.15 and WebSphere Process Server V6.1.0.1.

The problem does not occur in WebSphere Application Server V6.0 (any version) and WebSphere Process Server V6.0 (any version).

Note: The problem might occur when the projects are migrated to the new version of WebSphere Application Server V6.1 and WebSphere Process Server V6.1.

Resolving The Problem

This local fix resolves the problem.

The manifest file has a size restriction of 72 bytes. Make sure that your class path is less than 60 bytes (72 max - 12 (class-path: ) = 60 ).

Decrease the length of the dependent library and any client names to resolve the problem.
