user libraries in eclipse 3.5.1 [message #516687] Wed, 24 February 2010 14:00 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi experts,

I have created a User Library which contains just one external jar from /a/b/c/x.jar. When I add it to my Java project, and open up the library tree, I see that my custom user library suddenly gets more jar than I originally have.

it looks like it grabbed all the jars under /a/b/c/ directory.

I exported the user library to see what's the exported xml. The xml contains only 1 entry.

Can someone enlighten me on this subject? What is the mechanism at work here that eclipse is inferring more jars in my user library?

thanks,
Tom

Wrong forum. Will remove.

Check META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of your /a/b/c/x.jar.
I suppose you have some libraries defined in the Class-Path: attribute.

I have the opposite issue. I have a jar file (weblogic.jar) that has a manifest with a class-path and Eclipse is NOT pulling in the additional jars. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
