The import org.apache.commons cannot be resolved [message #213085]

My file CategoryTree.java reports the error on this line:
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
This is the error:
The import org.apache.commons cannot be resolved

I have added:
commons-logging.jar
through:
Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries

The commons-logging.jar file is located in one of the project
subdirectories:
ourProject\web\WEB-INF\lib\commons-logging.jar

However, nothing is changed - Eclipse still reports the initial error.

What am I missing here?

thanks ...

Problem solved.

It was caused by the fact that Eclipse environment was set not to build
automatically (Project -> Build Automatically).

Even though I was adding a correct JARs (through Project - Properties - Java
Build Path - Libraries), Eclipse did not rebuild, meaning it didn't
recalculate new dependencies (and didn't apply them on the existing source).

PS
This setting (build automatically disabled) was intentionally set like this
due to the fact that we use Ant framework for build steps. I thought that
Eclipse build can be disabled. Apparently, Eclipse 'build' does more than
that and is needed to recalculate source code dependencies.

You need to build to update the markers.
But inside the editor (red line), the error should not appear even the
code is not build.
