Is there anyway to get activeMQ to pick up a jar at runtime other
than adding it to the activemqinstalldir/lib folder?
Is there anyway to get activeMQ to pick up a jar at runtime other than adding
it to the activemqinstalldir/lib folder? I have tried the --extidr option
but can't get it to work....

Many thanks for your detailed response, when using --extdir multiple times it
works as hoped :).
I don't mean to nitpick, but this usage of --extdir seems somewhat counter
intuitive, and doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. I think it would
make it easier if you just added a note that makes this usage clear to the
task option line
" --extdir <dir> - Add the jar files in the directory to the classpath."
displayed when typing "activemq -?".
Thanks again!

It looks like you can repeat --extdir to provide multiple values
there is also the activemq.classpath system property that is a list,
it can be specified in the start script via env ACTIVEMQ_CLASSPATH
have a peek at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/trunk/activemq-console/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/console/Main.java?view=markup
to see how the classloader is configured and --extdir is parsed.

Gary thanks for your prompt reply, I did a fresh install and it now seems to
be working as mentioned above. My problem is however that I have jars in
different levels of a lib folder hierarchy, which I would like to all be
picked up. So for example OSBA.jar is in somefolder and hrules.jar is in
somefolder/lib, and I would like for activemq to find both of them on
startup. However extdirs doesn't seem to accept multiple directories as
arguments, and only searches the given folder for jars (without looking into
nested folders). Is there any way of doing this, or do I have to place every
single jar I want picked up into one folder?

I did a quick sanity:
mv lib/kahadb-5.6.0.jar /tmp/ext
sh -x ./bin/activemq console --extdir /tmp/ext
and it worked.
sh -x ./bin/activemq console --extdir /tmpeee
gave me:
Extension directory specified is not valid directory: /tmpeee
Ignoring extension directory option.
and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/kahadb/util/DataByteArrayInputStream
as expected.
