Hi,
I’m just getting started with MyEclipse – previously I’ve been using JBuilder for developing Web Apps.
I’m trying to figure out how to set up the library files for my Web project. At present I have configured them using the Java Build Path in the project properties – but I note that none of them get copied into the /WEB-INF/lib directory during a build (which is what happens in JB). Do I need to manually import them to the WEB-INF/lib directory?
Thanks
Phil
Phil,
My office mate and I just had this conversation this morning 🙂In ME, the idea is that you work on your app in an exploded WAR format; meaning the libs necessary for your app are already in WEB-INF/lib.
In JBuilder everything is copied into the final destination on build.Unfortunately you will need to change your project structure to have the libs in the WEB-INF/lib dir.
Thats unfortunate. Maybe this should be added as a feature request. BTW – JBuilder also works of an exploded WAR format during development. Its builder is smart enough to detect any changes to external library files and copy them to the /lib dir during a build. I think this is functionality that I’d like to see in ME.
Phil,
Yes I see you point, this could be a very nice addition.Thanks for letting me know about JBuilder, I’ll tell my office mate ASAP so he can stop complaining about my CVS structure 😈
I believe the 2.7 GA release will fully support links in exploded formats. This would at least allow you to link your WEB-INF/lib directory to another location where you keep your libraries. The deployer will then follow the link and deploy them properly.

How do I go about linking the WEB-INF/lib directory to another location?
