How can I tell Eclipse to not include other jars on a jar dependency's classpath? [message #762031]

I have the following setup:

/mylibs/a.jar
/mylibs/b.jar

and an Eclipse project that should have a.jar on its classpath for
building. Unfortunately — something that I cannot change — a.jar has a
manifest with an entry like this:

Class-Path: b.jar

so Eclipse also automatically adds b.jar in the list of referenced
libraries — except I don't want it.

How can I prevent Eclipse to add b.jar from being added to the list of
libraries?

TIA,
J.-P.

You can set an extra classpath inside your build.properties

jars.extra.classpath=

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your answer. I think I'm missing something here… How can
setting the extra classpath remove b.jar from the list of referenced
libraries?

Cheers,
J.-P.

Ah you are talking about a JDT project - then my message makes no sense.

Create a User Library with 'a.jar' in it. We don't resolve referenced
libraries for those.
