Where do I have to put jar files for them to be added as dependencies that Eclipse will recognize? I've tried the plugins directory, but no luck...

thx

Or, if possible, install them from an Eclipse install site, using the update
manager (Help -> Install New Software...). Directly adding a plugin to the
dropins folder is a backwards-compatibility feature; it's not the recommended
way to install plugins.

And if you are making your own plugins for others to use, it follows that you
should learn how to create an install site of your own. (It's not hard.)

Are these JARs that you want to use as part of code you are writing in
Eclipse? If so, I recommend adding a lib/ directory to your project,
importing the JARs into that, and then adding those JARs to the
Project's build path via Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries (tab).

Hope this helps,
Eric
