Hello,

I got a little issue : I have created a J2EE project and wanted to add an external jar as library with :

Project -> Properies -> Java Build Path -> Librairies – Add Externa Jar

I got my jar in my filesystem and added it with no problem .

In mind , when i build my project this jar should be added automaticaly to the /webroot/WEB-INF/lib directory . In fact he did’nt and I have to import it manaually in this directory if I want my project to run !

Do I make a mistake ? Is it a normal behaviour ?

Thanks
JF

JF,
You need to navigate to your Project > Properties > MyEclipse-Web > Deployment tab and change your deployment rules to include “External JARs”

OK thanks a lot . 😀

I too am having the same problem, but I did not see the “External JARS” option. When I go to

Project->Properties->MyEclipse-Web->Deployment tab I have two group boxes

1. Web Project Dependent Project Deployment Policy
1a. Use Workbench Default Settings (checkbox)
1b. Jar dependent prjoects place in the ‘lib’ directory
1c. Use Smart Deployment…
1d. Ignore Dependent Java…
2. Library Deployment Policies
2a. Use Workbench default settings.
2b. Jars on Web project…
2c. Jars in Web projects user libraries.
2d. Jars exported…
2e. User Library Jars…

I am getting an error when trying to deploy my application. I am attempting to use JSF/MyFaces and I am getting a class not found when I attempt to deploy. I checked the lib directory of the web app and see that none of the jar files that I added are showing up there.

I am using JBoss 4.0.2, JDK 1.5 and of course MyEclipse.

Any help and/or clarification would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
John

I do that with Windows->Preference->MyEclipse->J2EE Project ->Web Project
( so for new project only )

It’ ok when I deploy my project : libs from external jar are in the right directory on Tomcat side
BUT not in my eclipse project .

When I try modify my project with Project > Properties > MyEclipse-Web > Deployment, I can’t do it. All is grey . I do not have access to the button.

We need more help .

Thanks

Atmel,

I think I just figured it out. In order to get the jar files into the WEB-INF/lib directory. I went to Project -> Properties -> MyEclipse-Web -> Deployment. Uncheck the “Use Workbench Default Settings” checkbox and check the checkbox that reads, “Jars on Web project build path”. Save, and redeploy your app.

That worked for me. I’ll do my best to help.

Thanks,
John

atmel,
You need to click the “override workbench settings” checkbox first as John mentioned.

[Lahellec Jean-Francois]

Yes I did it but it still doesnt work for my project lib directory ( it’s OK for the Tomcat webapps lib dir ).

The deployment setting only affects the deployment of your project to the server. It doesn’t rearrange the libraries in your project because it’s assumed you wanted the jar to remain external for a reason. If you’d *like* it to exist under your WEB-INF/lib directory, then simply copy it in there rather than referencing it as an external jar. The deployment settings are to enable you to deploy properly *without* rearranging your library structure.
