Re: [Mibble-users] Loading MIB files that are in a jar

[Per Cederberg]

Close, but not quite the correct way to do it.
Here is how:

1. Make sure that your jar-file is in the
   CLASSPATH of your application.

2. Inside the jar-file, place the MIB files
   inside an appropriate subdirectory, such
   as "myapp/MY-APP-MIB".

3. Call "addResourceDir("myapp").

4. Violá. You should now be able to just call
   load("MY-APP-MIB").

Please note that since the CLASSPATH content
cannot be easily listed from some nice Java
API, all the MIB files loaded in this way must
have standardized names. I.e. the file names
inside the jar-file should be just <mibname>
without any file extension or similar. Casing
is important.

Have a look at the included mibble-mibs.jar
if you need more help.

Cheers,
