How can I add JAR files to the web-inf/lib folder in Eclipse?

Question

I\'m using Eclipse and I need to be able to add Java libraries (JAR files) into my web application\'s WEB-INF/lib folder. How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

As soon as you create a Dynamic Web project, follow these steps:

Right click on project -> Java EE Tools -> Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub

Eclipse will create a WEB-INF folder with web.xml and lib folder in it. Now you can just copy your jars to this lib folder and you will not get any build problems..
