What is a dependent JAR and what is a source JAR ? Why are they needed ?
I saw it in the sentence:
Dependent jars can be found in the libs folder and the corresonding source jars can be found in the libs-sources folder.
It would depend on exact context. Most likely:
Dependent JAR – is a java library file the application depends on, common example would be third party libraries. It contains .class files.
Corresponding source jars – java source code of the dependent jar packaged with jar utility. It contains .java files.
