Adding 3rd party jars to WEB-INF/lib automatically using eclipse/tomcat?

Here are the instructions for Helios. For earlier releases, see SeanA's answer.

Here are the instructions for Helios. For earlier releases, see SeanA's answer. Project Properties -> Deployment Assembly Add -> Java Build Path Entries You should now see the list of libraries on your build path that you can specify for inclusion into your finished WAR.

Select the ones you want and hit Finish.

I haven't tried this personally, but what I believe it does is what I think you are looking for: Right-click project -> Properties Go to Java EE Module Dependencies Check the boxes for the JARs that you want to export with your Web Application Let me know if this automatically puts them in your exported WAR. I always just add mine to WEB-INF/lib :).

I don't see the "Java EE Module Dependencies" in my project properties. I'm using helios sr2 if that makes a difference. – Dave Mar 29 at 2:25 in Helios in J2EE perspective it is now called "Deployment Assembly" – kachanov Mar 30 at 14:21.

You can use "Ant" to copy files to WEB-INF/lib when you deploy files. Using Ant you will be able to copy only those files which have changed. ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/copy.html help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=....

1 because I'm aware of ANT and know it can do stuff like this; but I haven't had to use it yet. Learning ins and outs of ANT is on my list; but for time being I'm concentrating on other things. If no one gives a quicker solution; then I'll dig in when I've got the time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
