I've created a basic publication extension that works. However, when I added additional functionality to it that requires external .JARs from a third-party, I can't seem to get things to work. The publication log shows that it's not able to find the necessary class. Short of putting the additional .JARs directly in to the <drive>\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib\publishingPlugins directory I can't seem to get it to work.
When I package my the third-party jars in my publishing plugin jar, it appears to ignore the class path and jars there. Is there any way to set the classpath for BO or have it find those jars without dumping them in the publishingPlugins directory?
