No, jars behave the same in that regard.  Copying a jar into a project 
folder and hitting F5 should make the jar visible in the project explorer.

Clearly the system knows it's there.

Two things to try:

1.  Start eclipse with the -clean switch.  Maybe that will shake 
something loose.

2.  If not, copy some other jar file into the same folder, hit F5, and 
see if that one shows up.
