Packaging as plug-in JAR files

Export the user-defined node project as plug-in JAR files to make it available for other users.

About this task

If you use this option, the user-defined node user must copy the user-defined node plug-ins into the plug-ins folder in the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit. However, the user-defined node user can write a script to automate the copying process, so that the user-defined nodes are deployed automatically.

To package your user-defined node projects so that they are available in the environment of the user, complete the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Right-click the project that you want to package, select Package.
    The Package and Distribute User-Defined Nodes wizard opens.
  2. Select Plug-in jars. Click Next.
  3. Select the plug-ins and fragments that you want to use.
    Projects upon which the subflow user-defined node depends, such as message set projects, are automatically included and are not shown in the list.
  4. Navigate through the wizard, completing the fields as required. Click Finish.
