Question

How do I configure my project buildpath to have a set of .jar files located in the same directory automatically included in the buildpath ? Meaning that adding a new .jar fi

Answer 1

On a windows machine you could do what uzhin said with a one liner on the command line.

Supposing you had set up a variable in Eclipse called AXIS2_HOME that points to c:\javalibs\axis2-1.4.1, this example uses the "for" command to iterate all of the .jar files in the c:\javalibs\axis\lib directory and writes the .classpath nodes a file called addto.classpath. (Note: The carat character ^ escapes the < and > on the command line so they don't do what they usually do.)

for %i in (c:\javalibs\axis2-1.4.1\lib\*.jar) do @echo     ^  >> addto.classpath

You end up with something like this in the file...

...

So then you can copy those lines and paste them in the obvious place in the actual .classpath file.
