Can you add 3rd party Jars to your scripts?

[iggkrajc 1]

Hey Dreambot Support,

 

I am a huge fan of your bot, and recently started developing my own scripts using your api.

I have had some success, as I am a full time software engineer with professional experience at Java I feel right at home.

 

 

I ran into a problem last night, as I started to add some more complexity to my script however.

 

I added an additional library, Apache Commons, and linked the jar in my build path. Eclipse gave now errors and I was able to compile the script into a jar just fine.

 

 

But when I ran this new script in dreambot, I was greated with "No Class Definition" errors about Apache Commons.

 

Is there a specific way that I need to include 3rd party jars into my scripts?

 

 

I desperately need the ability to include these 3rd jars, as my next steps will be database integration. 

 

 

 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks,

Iggy

External jars can not be added in scripts.

why is this actually and is there a way around this to still add something like a sql connection to a database?

You can connect to a php site to update/retrieve data from your database.

do you heppen to have a example on how to do this? woud really appriciate it i sorta know how to use php but im still learning it   + im not sure how to do it from script

Why is this a limitation? I don't understand from a technical side.

 

Dreambot is just written in java. If you let the script's internal jars also exist on the runtime path everything should work fine. 

 

I understand that I can use the  Java standard library to call another language, but that is just insane.

 

 

The ENTIRE point of Java, is the reusability of its libraries and the communities that release them for free.

 

Why would you limit scripts from being able to use these resources??

 

There are incredible libraries that do such amazing things....

 

 

I will be looking at alternative bots that do support this tonight. I won't let Dreambot limit what I can do.

I guess those links have the things that are required. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I know you aren't responding to my post directly, but do you know any technical reasons why we can't include 3rd party libraries?

 

I feel like this should be possible, with a tiny amount of work.

I'm not sure but it might have to do something with scripts with external jars taking up too much space in the SDN. A developer/Dreamlicker would have better answers than me.
