Importing .jar files

When importing Java code, you can specify names of .jar files, and Rhapsody® will use the information in the .jar files to model external classes and interfaces that your code uses.

About this task

By default, if you import Java code that contains import statements that reference external classes and interfaces, Rhapsody creates external elements for the referenced classes and interfaces but the representation in the model is partial due to the limited amount of information contained in an import statement. For example, the model does not indicate whether the element is a Java class or interface. You can import more detailed information into your model by specifying the location of the relevant .jar files.

To specify the relevant .jar files:

1. Select Tools > Reverse Engineering from the main menu.
2. Click Advanced... to display the Reverse Engineering Advanced Options window.
3. On the Preprocessing tab, click Add....
4. Make sure that the Add Symbol radio button is selected.
5. Select the JAR File radio button and then click Browse... to select a .jar file.
6. Click OK to add the file and close the Add preprocessing symbol window, or click Apply to add the file and continue selecting additional files.
