How do I define a classpath? [message #123774]

I'm used to command line or Sun JDK building. How do I simply define a
classpath for my Java project in Eclipse? I have been defining all my
libraries as external Jars but this just gives me a large list of items
inside the project. Is this right?

Confused in newbie-ness,

Right click on a Project. Go Properties->Java Build Path. The Projects
tab is for selecting other Projects the current Projects depends on -
i.e. needs the class files. The Libraries tab is for adding external
jars or creating and adding Eclipse libraries (which are a collection of
jars).

When you're done setting it up you can look at the .classpath file in
the Project root directory to see what you've done. But don't edit this
file directly.
