	Eclipse doesn't restrict you to search in those directories, its the 
Finder. Do you find those directories in Finder?

	As a workaround you can edit the .classpath file and add an entry like 
this: <classpathentry kind="lib" path="/usr/local/<path to your jar>"/>

	But why do you want to put it under /usr/local? That isn't a Mac OS way 
of doing things?
