[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: .jar in lib folder not visible, no filter s

["Lars Vogel" <Lars.Vogel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Walter,

Thank you, I'm having problems with the package explorer like you said.

The jar is in the build path, but I would think even without it should be 
visible as other files, e.g. a text file which I copied on file level to 
this folder,  is also visible (after F5).

Best regards, Lars
