Description zikmund 2005-05-25 15:18:55 UTC 
4.1 FCS

1) Have a java project
2) Open project's Properties | Libraries
3) Add JAR/Folder
4) Add a folder with JAR files (e.g. some library JAR files) - do not add JAR
files, but their parent directory
5) ERROR:
JAR files won't be for CC, etc. We should check directory and if it contains JAR
files, warn the user that he/she should rather use Library manager or add JAR
files, not their parent directory.
(Based on nbusers feedback)

See similar Library Manager issue 59244.
