So i was having difficulties installing myeclipse with Ubuntu’s version of Eclipse (3.2), so i manually installed Eclipse 3.3 and have added MyEclipse.
After the update, my projects have massive amounts of errors due to the fact that eclipse cannot find/see common libraries like junit, jaxme, and log4j. They are all in the same place ‘/usr/share/java’ and i feel like this directory should be part of a default classpath.
Is there a way for eclipse/java in general to know that most libraries are in /usr/share/java? If not, how did Ubuntus version of eclipse not generate the same errors, and knew where these libraries were?
Thanks.
User libs are an Eclipse Platform feature, so ME should see them just fine… also they are stored in the workspace.
Did you modify your workspace? Like create a new one, or try and drag one from Windows over to Linux? (in which case all the paths will be totally invalid)

You can create a user library with all the common jars and add this to the Java Build Path.
I had done all development in Linux, and did not change any paths. I did completely wipe out my old/Ubuntu version of Eclipse. It seems like it had some sort of configuration that searched a directory for specific jars, like junit,jaxme, log4j.
My whole point is, before, with the Ubuntu version, i did not have to include any extra jars to the project, yet, now with the 3.3 version, i do. I just want to get back to how it was before but using 3.3
I see what your saying with user libraries, but i have a jar with all the libraries in it, that is added to the user libraries, yet still getting the errors. I have a screen shot, but nowhere to host.
Can click “Post Reply” at the bottom of the page and upload the screen shot.
Also, paste the information from the <workspace>/.metadata/.log file here for me.
