Question

I am using IDEA 11 and need to run a class with a main method but with additional classpath entries – both xml files and jars. I have tried adding them as Global Libraries, as additional source content roots, and as regular additional libraries, however none of these seem to pick up the xml files and so when I execute the run config I get FileNotFoundExceptions.

Please can anyone suggest something else as the printed classpath in the console never contains any of my custom definitions.

If I can’t solve this I may have to resort to learning Eclipse just to get stuff done. This is making me a little crazy. I have tried all the suggestions I could find on SO but no luck so far.
