3rd party JARs -- local vs. remote repositories

[Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma <sa...@uss-infr.com>]

Hi,

For the following, lets take a simple example of :-
     Create a Session Bean that is deployed --by itself-- and not within 
a EAR.
     And also, lets assume that the session bean depends on a commercial 
(3rd party) JAR for (say) statistical analysis.

EJB jars always had dependency JARs located under META-INF/lib;
Has this changed?
i.e., should each EJB and all the JARs that it depends on, be packages 
as an EAR?

Thanks for the google link.
I didn't use the keyword "bundle", when I did my searches.

I just googled "maven 3rd party jars" and got a completely new set of links.
Except that all the suggestions fail for me, with the --only-- 
difference that I am using local (~/.m2/repository) instead of a remote 
repository.
Why should that matter?

Thanks again in advance!

Again, what Java app server or EJB container and JVM/JDK are you
using? This is not part of the JAR specification [1] and does not
comply with Sun's advice regarding J2EE packaging in general [2].

Yes, an Ear or a War, or in some situations a Rar or another format.
