Description zikmund 2005-05-25 15:19:55 UTC 
4.1 FCS

1) Have a web app
2) Open project's Properties | Libraries
3) Add JAR/Folder
4) Add a folder with JAR files (e.g. Struts library)
5) ERROR:
JAR files will be packaged into WEB-INF/classes and therefore won't be used by
server. 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)
