How to use a message resource file in a precompiled library for BlackBerry

I'm building a library for the BlackBerry, which needs to have several strings in it using the messages.rrc and messages.rrh files to create the MessagesResource interface to allow access.

The catch is, everything being done on the command line, I'm using RAPC to generate the messages, and a standard java compiler to build the library itself. RAPC generates the MessagesResource class just fine, and I can use it to compile the rest of the library with. But how do I get the actual messages (stored in a COD file) to come with the library? Do I just stick the COD in the jar? Does it have to be a separate file? Is it folly to think I can even do this?

Kudos to you, sir. You have found a programming question so obscure that the SO community doesn't have the expertise to answer it. :D – Evan Kroske
oh, sad. And I was hoping a bounty might help – Ed Marty
The question isn't entirely clear. You want a reusable jar file, that includes the code rapc generates from the rrc and rrh files? – Michael Donohue
Yes, that's exactly what I want. Not so unclear after all. – Ed Marty
@Ed Marty Do you want help or do you just want to be snarky? – Michael Donohue

Well, never found an answer to this. Had to move to a proprietary way of fetching strings from a resource file included with the project instead. A shame.
