Repository for external jars [message #85469]

Hi all,

we have a huge repository of external jars wer're using for our projects.
Each jar is configured with it's source path and javadoc path.

Currently we have to set up the external jars for each project manually (
copy them from a masterprojects .classpath containing all external jars
into projects .classpath ).
This is inherently cumbersome.
As projects are unrelated, exporting jars from a project isn't a solution
either.

A repository to select preconfigured jars from would be handy, but is
there anything like this?

Thx
Christian

You could create a separate java project, put the jars in there, add
them to the java build path as libraries (make sure they are marked as
exported). Then in any project that needs those jars make this jar
project a required project. That way they can be found at build time but
you don't need to keep copying them into each project.

We only need a subset of the jars per project. Thus we would have to set
up a new project to export from which we want to avoid.
