I've tried to use <jar-file>file:// > > build/classes</jar-file> to point the scanner to that directory, > > but it doesn't work either.

It's almost > > impossible to find a project layout in an IDE where you could get > > both together and not run into all kinds of issues. > > Oh, it works. I had a slash too many in my URL. Maybe we should add > this to the documentation: > > <jar-file>file:/home/turin/work/local/lab8/build/classes</jar-file>
