Hello, maybe hello @raff
please help.
I managed to write a module using the SDK (similar to the allergy-gui).
now I want to create a pdf file (and inserting database data)
searching in the web, i found itext, that’s a jar.
what I want, is, to do sort of “import.itext.chapter” … in my controller-class.
compiling and running it with: mvn clean install openmrs-sdk:run
may I ask:
how can i include this ‘external jar’ into the module-class-structure,
and where/how do I have to change the maven pom.xml?
thank you
i do not manage to include it into the project.

meaning: I am adding to my pom.xml
dependency
groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId
artifactId>itextpdf</artifactId
version>5.3.4</version
/dependency
(of course with brackets)
and I import in an ServiceImpl … java class the Document, and I use it.
And it’s not found.
If that is a simple question, please give me a link. However, this procedure works with other java projects. So please help with the SDK @raff thank you.

Hello,
i found it, so probably that was an easy question …
my thinking was: the pom.xml at the folder [modulename] (= root), and other poms would ‘heritate’ of it. seemingly not.
adding the dependency to the pom.xml at the folder [modulename]/api/ (where the class is located that used the reference) - solved it.
