| .jar in lib folder not visible, no filter set [message #247251] |

Hi,
I have a folder in my eclipse project called lib which contains one file
"derby.jar". I use the derby.jar in my project / build path. What I don't
understand is why this file is not visible in the package explorer. The
folder is visible but not the file "derby.jar".
I did:
1.) Refresh the folder lib several times
2.) Unflag all filter in the package explorer
3.) Did check that the file exists
Any advice?
Best regards, Lars

Hi Paul,
not sure what you mean. If I copy on the file system for example a file,
e.g. an icon, and press F5 on the folder the new file becomes visible.
Are you saying .jars behave differently?
I tried now now to import the jar but the system tells me source and
destination are the same.
Best regards, Lars

Hi Paul,
thank you for the advice but unfortunately the file is still not visible.
I did start Eclipse with -clean. If I paste other libs into the folder then
they are visible.
Best regards, Lars

You're describing the *project* explorer, but earlier Lars was talking about
the *package* explorer. These are not the same thing.
Is the lib folder on the build path? If not, then its contents won't show
in the package explorer, I think.

Hi Walter,
Thank you, I'm having problems with the package explorer like you said.
The jar is in the build path, but I would think even without it should be
visible as other files, e.g. a text file which I copied on file level to
this folder, is also visible (after F5).
Best regards, Lars

If I make a copy of derby.jar, e.g. derby2.jar then it is also visible.

In Package Explorer, JARs that are on the build path do NOT show up
under the folder where they are physically located. Instead they show up
under Referenced Libraries. Package Explorer is "helping" you by
grouping all libs together under that heading.
Personally, I much prefer working with the Java Browsing perspective and
Resource Navigator as opposed the the default Java perspective with the
"help" that Package Explorer brings.
Hope this helps,
Eric
