I’ve got a new webapp based on a lot of old legacy code and class files. I’m using Eclipse 3.1 with MyEclipseIDE 4 on Windows + TC 5.0.28 + JVM 1.4.2.06

I need these class files to exist as a library so that I can compile a new servlet which will rely on them. Plus I need these class files deployed to web WEB-INF/classes directory.

The class files do not exist in a package (yes, bad I know) but they were built ages ago, and we do not have the source code for them, so I cannot just add the *.java files to the source tree.

Q1) How can I add the class files to the project so that they can be used to compile new servlets and also to have them deployed to the WEB-INF/classes directory?

Q2) Some of these legacy servlets rely on property type files (named *.cfg) that must also exist in the WEB-INF/classes directory. Adding them to the src folder is not getting them deployed – only files ending in *.properties are being deployed.

I want the the new java source files in src/, class files in legacycode/ and the sysparams.cfg file in src/ all deployed to WEB-INF/classes

Myproject/
src/
newservlet.java
test.properties
c
legacycode/
lots of class files

At the moment only newservlet.class and test.properties deployed to WEB-INF/classes – the other files are not

Can anyone help me resolve these two issues?

Thanks.

OK deploying non-class files is now working OK. Stupid Windoze XP not showing the changes in the directory.

But can I deploy the legacy class files?
