Referenced project's JAR file to WEB-INF/lib [message #822058]

Hi there,

I have a Java web project which requires a JAR file from another project. Though I can manually put the JAR file into WEB-INF/lib directory, if I made changes to the referenced project, I have to manually updated the JAR file. Is there any way in Eclipse that does it automatically? I added the another project in the classpath of the web project, but Eclipse does not update the JAR file automatically.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you looked into Eclipse's WTP project. This project is precisely
for handling Web projects. It handles jars in WEB-INF.lib and it handles
references to other jars in other projects, even projects that when
exported will be a jar within the WEB-INF/lib but works with the Eclipse
project during development and testing without jaring it up.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I am using WTP. Looks like Eclipse doesn't complaint when compiling, but it does not generate JAR file of the referenced project into WEB-INF/lib folder. I don't know whether Eclipse supports that already, otherwise I have to make a custom Ant script, right?
