Currently if you want to include extra JARS into a web app project’s scope you have to drag/drop them into the ‘WEB-INF/lib’ folder.

This doesn’t offer any project management control about what stuff can be dropped into this folder.

Instead it would be better to allow the ‘Project/Library’ view to be extended so that it could include ‘web app’ specific library entries.

davout,

Can you please check the attached screenshot and see if that is the structure you are looking for ?

If yes, then you can use “User Libraries” to add the jars and change the deployment settings to include the jars.
Here are the steps to add the user libraries :

1. Right click on you project and from the context menu go to Build Path > Add Library
2. From the window that opens select User Library and click Next
3. click “User Libraries”. This opens a new wizard. You can create a new library by clicking on “New”
4. After the library is created, you can add jars to it.

You can change the library deployment policies of the project. Right click on the project > Properties > MyEclipse > Web > Deployment > Library Deployment Policies section. You can choose to turn on/off the deployment of the jars from User libraries here.

If this is not what you are looking for, then please elaborate in detail.

Yes, I think that solves the issue.

However, I think it would be better to provide his type of configuration at an individual library level.

davout,

I am afraid it is not clear on what exactly you want which the ‘User Libraries’ does not offer. Can you please elaborate in a detailed manner to help us understand the requirement ?
