I’m new to eclipse.
I added “mysql-connector-java-3.0.9-stable-bin.jar” to my project via:
project properties | Java Build Path | Add External Jars

The Jar files appear in the list but when I redeploy to TomCat the jar file is never copied to the deployment directory. All of the other files are copied to the project/WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib directory.

What do I need to do more to force this jar to be copied? No classes in the jar are referenced directly but the Driver class is specified in a properties file.

The app works file when a manually copy the jar file to the deployment lib directory.

Paul,
You’ll need to adjust your deployment rules for externally linked resources. Its under your project properties, then MyEclipse-WEb, check out the two sections on that preference panel related to deployment rules.
