Cataloging Java Libraries

Before using external Java components from processes or BPM Objects, you must include them into the project catalog. When you catalog a component, you are gathering all the necessary information that Studio needs in order to call and execute it at runtime.

Before performing the procedures in this task, ensure that you have created a module where you want to catalog the Java components. See Creating a Module.

To catalog Java components:

  1. Right-click on the module where you want to catalog the components.
  2. Select Catalog Component > Java
  3. Select one of the following options:
    Option Description
    Use existing configuration Select this option if you have already configured an External Resource of type Java Class Library.
    Create a new configuration Select this option if you need to configure a new External Resource of type Java Class Library. See Creating an External Resource.
  4. Select the Java types you want to catalog. Selecting a package automatically selects all types in that package and nested packages.
  5. Click Next. The selected Java types are analyzed for dependencies. Any errors or warnings are listed.
  6. Click Finish.

For each selected Java type, a new component appears in the Project Navigator.
