how to create a custom message in ROSJava

edit

Jeff, I solved the doubt about how to use sensor_msgs in my projects with rosjava.

roslocate info sensor_msgs
- svn:
        local-name: sensor_msgs
        uri: https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/common_msgs/trunk/sensor_msgs

I donwloaded the project in my rosjava workspace and I did a rosmake. Later eclipse recognized messages from the package sensor_msgs.

Many thanks.

Hi Jeff, I solved my doubt in the following way.

I wanted to use nxt_msgs: http://www.ros.org/wiki/nxt_msgs

so I copied that project, I compiled with rosmake and later, I added in manifest.xml from my last project the following line:

<depend package="nxt_msgs" />

I compiled with rosmake the project and later, I could add in my Java classes that messages.

Many thanks.

Do you have an example to undertand your idea?

I know how to use manifest to add external libraries but how to create a package with custom messages and later create that .jar?

Currently, I have a manifest with the following dependencies:

<depend package="rosjava" />
<depend package="std_msgs" />

If I add another dependencie:

<depend package="custom_msgs" />

How to store that folder and how to create that jar?

Does exist another way? For example creating a package in src folder or outside in the same folder with the messages?

Many thanks in advance.
