To
tell NetBeans the location of an archive on the remote OpenVMS systemAn archive can be SMB-based or FTP-based.
Archive file extensions are .jar, .zip, .war, or .ear. By mounting a remote archive, you ensure that the mounted archive will be included in your classpath on the remote OpenVMS system.
To
tell NetBeans the location of an archive on the remote OpenVMS system
1. For SMB Filesystems Only: If you have not already done so, map a network drive using Windows Explorer. (Click Tools, then Map Network Drive, and enter the remote OpenVMS system and directory where your archive resides.)
2. In the NetBeans IDE, click the Filesystems tab.
3. Right click Filesystems, and select Mount... Remote File System or Archive.
In the Remote File System Wizard, all currently connected remote systems are displayed in the drop-down menu. If your server is not displayed, it means it is not connected. (Go back to the Runtime tab and add or connect your server before continuing.)
4. Select the remote system, then click Next.
5. In the Look In... drop down menu, click the remote server network drive.
6. Choose a directory on the remote system where your archive resides. It will be displayed in the File Name box. (It may take several seconds for the directory to be displayed.)
Note The OpenVMS directory displayed in the Remote Directory box is equivalent to the share name of the remote system. Click Finish.
For example, if your mapped .jar file name is
X:\User\HOLD\mystuff.jar
then the corresponding remote archive file is
EFS$:[USER.HOLD]MYSTUFF.JAR
