Hi,
I need external JARs (wich placed in lib subdirectory of my project or
in Eclipse plugins subdirectory) to compile my project. And I need work
on my project on different computers with different OSes and absolute
paths. But in project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries I can
add external JARs only with absolute paths through File Open dialog. How
can I add external JARs with relative paths?
I tried to write to .classpath:
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/junit.jar"/>
But Eclipse can't understand this and can't compile my project
I use Eclipse Platform Version: 2.1.2 Build id: 200311030802

Eugene,
If your library JARs are in a "lib" subdirectory of your project (or, in
fact, any project in your workspace), you should use the "Add JARs..."
button instead of the "Add External JARs..." button. When adding JARs, the
path is relative to your workspace project location and not absolute. This
should work across different computers and different OSs.
Only use External JARs when the libraries are outside of your workspace.
Even then, it's best to define and use classpath variables to avoid absolute
paths.
Regards,
Dave Carlson
