Explode plugin jar file
For eg. PluginDataFramework.jar, you will get:
plugin.xml (Keep this)
PLUGIN-INF (Keep this)
lib - PluginDataFramework-classes.jar, ognl-2.6.7.jar (Delete this. Not required as it is already in your NexawebClient.jar)
Repackage inner classes jar files in lib folder
a. Unjar inner classes jarfiles
For eg.PluginDataFramework-classes.jar, you will get:
META-INF (delete this)
com\nexaweb\plugin\data directory structure with classes
b. Create a folder nxPlugin-<plugin class name> inside exploded folder
For eg. PluginDataFramework-classes will have
com\nexaweb\plugin\data directory structure with classes
nxplugin-PluginDataFramework folder
c. Move plugin.xml to nxPlugin-<plugin class name> folder
d. jar plugin classes into plugin classes jar file
For eg. PluginDataFramework-classes.jar
e. Sign inner plugin classes jar files
f. Remove exploded folder
If <ui-test> is set to true in nexaweb-client.xml, it uses debug/plugin classes-debug jar files. You need to repeat same process as with plugin classes jar files.
Jar main plugin folder.
Create pre-loaded folder inside WebContent/WEB-INF/client/plugins
Copy repackaged jar files into pre-loaded folder and delete jars from plugins

Add tag mapping for plugin.xml in your nexaweb-client.xml.
For eg.

Code Block

title	nexaweb-client.xml

<client-tag-mapping>
	<tag-map-file>classpath://nxplugin-PluginDataFramework/plugin.xml</tag-map-file>
</client-tag-mapping>

Here is a sample ANT task to rearrange and sign nexaweb plugins jars
