Collect Required Plugin Jars

Locates the selected list of jar files, which can include wildcards from the KNIME plugins folder. The list of file names is returned as the String List flow variable JarFileList.

This list can then be included as jar files in a subsequent call to Java Snippet or Java Edit Variable, thus allowing libraries that are present in KNIME to be included with Java, even though the specific versions or jar file names may vary from one KNIME version to another.

With thanks to @mlauber71 for feedback re locating plugins folder on different KNIME OS installations.

JAR Files
Supply a comma delimited list of jar files (with wildcards rather than specific version numbers) that are to be retrieved from the plugins folder
