– Message Body ——————————-

I am sorry to repeat this question but the last answers did not fix my problem, I did re-reply to say as much but I think this may have been overlooked as you normally provide a very prompt and timely response.

I am trying to update my Java Build Path so that I can place some
specific jar files within my web project (J2EE/Web Module Project). I have tried just copying (file copy) the files into my workspace/webapp/../lib folder but then when I open up eclipse and open a myeclipse project I cannot import the appropriate classes.

The documentation for both Eclipse and MyEclipse says that I should right click on the root of my project and choose Properties, I should then be given a dialog box with an option on the left that will enable me to update my Java Build Path. I don’t get that option in either the Java perspective or the MyEclipse perspective; what I get is a dialog titled ‘Properties for web.xml’ and two options:
Quote:

– MyEclipse-Web
– External Tools Builder

I have looked at all the other options and suboptions having right clicked on the root of the project but there are no options that enable me to update my Java Build Path nor are there any suboptions with any of the options that offer me any hint of updating my Java Build Path.
😕

I think I’m going crazy because I could swear we ran this down with you in another thread, but I just searched and it must have been another user…

Try this:
File > New Project > Java Project

When you are done creating that project, right click on its root and go to properties. Does it look right? If it doesn’t, then something is messed up with your Eclipse installation. If it does look fine, then you will need to setup your project again to get everything right.

I’ve done what you are describing before and accidentally setup a Simple Project, which sounds exactly like the symptoms you are describing (only 2 options under project properties).

Also are you SURE you have the root node of the entire project selected? I’m asking because you said that the dialog says “Web.xml properties” which seems to odd to me unless you had the web.xml file highlighted….
