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

[Eric Rizzo <eclipse5@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In Package Explorer, JARs that are on the build path do NOT show up 
under the folder where they are physically located. Instead they show up 
under Referenced Libraries. Package Explorer is "helping" you by 
grouping all libs together under that heading.
Personally, I much prefer working with the Java Browsing perspective and 
Resource Navigator as opposed the the default Java perspective with the 
"help" that Package Explorer brings.

Hope this helps,
	Eric
