## remove-library

removes one or more library JAR files from GlassFish Server

Synopsis

    remove-library [--help] [--type={common|ext|app}]
    library-name [library-name ... ]

Description

The `remove-library` subcommand removes one or more library JAR files from GlassFish Server.

The `--type` option specifies the library type and the GlassFish Server directory from which the library is removed.

The library-name operand is the name of the JAR file that contains the library to be removed. To specify multiple libraries, specify multiple names separated by spaces.

Note:

The library archive file is removed from the DAS. For common and extension libraries, you must restart the DAS so the library removals are picked up by the server runtime. To remove the libraries from other server instances, synchronize the instances with the DAS by restarting them.

This command is not supported on the Windows operating system.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

`--help`
`-?`

  Displays the help text for the subcommand.

`--type`

  Specifies the library type and the GlassFish Server directory from which the library is removed. Valid values are as follows:

  `common`

  `ext`

    Removes the library files from the Java optional package directory, domain-dir`/lib/ext`.

  `app`

    Removes the library files from the application-specific class loader directory, domain-dir`/lib/applibs`.

  For more information about these directories, see "Class Loaders" in Oracle GlassFish Server Application Development Guide.
