I made a mistake I wanted instead of war file I wrote a jar file. So the web application has been already created. My question is if I have to compile a java class that extends one of the classes included in a jar file. Do I have to extract from war file necessary libraries need for the compilation of my file or there is a more elegant way to handle this?
