The BPM Studio library is a user library that is automatically generated every time a new application is created in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. This library acts as a reference point for the JAR files required for process applications that is independent of the location of the JAR files. Using this library, Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge applications can be easily shared among different users who may have different installation roots for their Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge installation.
For applications that were created earlier and then imported to the more recent Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge releases that have the library feature, you must replace their hard-coded JAR files with BPM Studio library references.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. After importing a pre-6.5SP2 application (see the Using a process file from older releases topic), click the process name in the Project pane. From Project menu, click Properties, then click Java Build Path > Libraries.
2. Remove the following four JAR files—bpmwebflow.JAR, bpsclient.JAR, bpsmisc.JAR, and j2ee.JAR—by selecting each JAR file and clicking Remove.
3. Click Add Library, select User Library and click Next, and select BPM Studio Library and click Finish.
The BPM Studio library is now in the Libraries tab. Click OK.
Note: You can also get the same results by manually editing the classpath file under the application folder and replace the four JAR files (<classpathentry kind=”lib” path=”<path_name>/bpmwebflow.JAR”/>, <classpath...../bpsclient.JAR”/>, <classpath...../bpsmisc.JAR”/>, and <classpath...../j2ee.JAR”/>) with the following entry: <classpathentry kind=”con” path=”org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/BPM Studio Library”/>.
