FileNet ContentElement CheckOut - filenet-p8

Question

I have a code module and has supporting jars as content elements. Whenever I change the java code and want to update the new jar, I do check-out and check-in back. But in this process, when I check-out, all the supporting jars also need to be added manually. Is there a way to just Check-out the jar I want to update leaving behind supported jars?

Answer 1

I wrote a simple code to achieve this. Hope this helps others
