Description Michael Erdmann CLA 2002-11-08 17:06:06 EST
In Projet/Preferences/Java Build Path/Libraries after pressing Advanced
I would like to add an existing folder to the classpath. This works
fine as long as I do not try to add a sub- or super-folder of an existing
one. 

As I understand this is intended behavior. But in some scenarios it makes
sense, e.g. to point to a properties file in the root directory, whereas
some other jars, libs are in subdirectories.

Thus, my de-enhancement request.

    thanks, michael

We are planning on allowing to nest source/lib folders as long as exclusion 
patterns are specified. This is on the plan for 2.1-M4.
