I wrote a node (rosjava) that uses the library "lejos". Node compile without error, but when I run the node

rosrun rosjava_bootstrap run.py nxt_rosjava org.ros.nxt_rosjava.Listener

I get an error

Buildfile: /home/alex/lego-nxt-car-like/nxt_rosjava/dependencies.xml

get-dependencies:

I think that I need add "/home/alex/lejos_nxj/lib/pc/pccomm.jar" in dependencies.xml, but how to do it?

I realize this is solved, but I wrote a quick tutorial for what worked for me. it may be of some use for someone else. http://coe.uncc.edu/~acharris/How_To_ROSJAVA/ROSJAVA_Tutorial.html

You need to add the path of the jar file in manifest.xml in the rosjava_pathelement tag. And you also need to add the path in ros.properties to the classpath and jarfileset properties. Take care to use the right delimiter (, vs :).

Edit: So my procedure to include external (i.e. non-ros) jar files now is:

Create a package, e.g., "external_jar", create subfolder, put jar-files there
Add a rosjava_pathelement tag with the relative path to each jar file to external_jar's manifest.xml (see other rosjava manifest.xml files for exact syntax)
Declare dependency on external_jar in manifest of the package where the jar-files are needed.
Rosmake your package

Hm, there is more to it, it seems. I'll update this tomorrow

Node runs!!! I add "<rosjava-pathelement location="/home/alex/lejos_nxj/lib/pc/pccomm.jar" />" in manifest.xml and run "rosmake nxt_rosjava". Thank you!

Great! With the above description you can use the relative location, which makes your package portable to other computers.

I'm doing something similar and having problems. Even when I add the <rosjava-pathelement location="/direct/library/path"> to my manifest.xml, my builds keep failing because it can't find the imports for the new library. This is a completely non-ROS library I'm adding so "depend" doesn't work.

I build project in Eclipse. Before build I add the path of the jar file in ros.properties to the ros.compile.classpath and ros.compile.jarfileset properties.If I launch "rosmake" then those properties erase and I need to add again.

Ok, now I got it to build. But have a running problem, which probably requires its own post. Thanks for the help!!!

Did you solve the problems with pccomm.jar?

I have just uploaded some examples in LeJOS project: https://lejos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lejos/trunk/ros/examples/">https://lejos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lejos/trunk/ros/examples/
