Where to put external jars [message #146255]

I want to use some code from Sun (XAMCL) that they have packaged in jars.
They're not plugins, just libraries. Where do I put them so that Eclipse
and the Java SDK and Java JRE can find them and I can use them in Eclipse.

TIA!

James,

You have two options, you can copy the jar libraries into your project
(creating a lib sub folder in your project is customary) and then select
them and right click->Add to build path. The other option is to select
your project and right click->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries and
hit the Add External JARs button. This will create a reference to the
files on the external file system. Either way, when you launch your app
from Eclipse, the libraries will be added to the runtime classpath so
your app will run properly.

Hope this helps,
- Jeff
