Upgrading NWDS project classpaths (NW'04 --> NW 7.00)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a small problem...

I have various NW2004 projects in NWDS, which have references to libraries in the 'old' NWDS

I am now working on NW2004s projects, however, the references to the libraries have slightly changed.

For instance, reference to

<i>ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/com.sap.ext.libs.webservices/lib/jaxm-api.jar</i>

should now be changed to

<i>ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/com.sap.ext.libs.webservices<b>_2.0.0</b>/lib/jaxm-api.jar</i>

Is there a way to automatically update all the classpath references to reflect the new pathnames, or should I use a "multiple-file-multiple-replace" tool and fix the .classpath files by hand?

Kind regards,

Hi ,

I donnot think there is a workaround or automation to replace the libraby entries .

The way is to switch to navigation explorer and browse to classpath.txt file and the replace all with occurences to ___2.0.0 newer version and build .

Thanks

Hi Swathi,

That way I have to modify all references by hand, for every project in my workspace (I have around 70 projects which needs classpath updates...)

Furthermore, not all files have a _2.0.0 suffix, some have a 7.00 suffix as well, so simply replacing all ".jar" files with "2.0.0.jar" won't do the trick
