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

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

• Add the jar file to your WEB-INF/lib folder.
• Right-click your project in Eclipse, and go to “Build Path > Configure Build Path”
• Add the “Web App Libraries” library

This will ensure all WEB-INF/lib jars are included on the classpath.
