[news.eclipse.tools] classpath problem

[Dave Stallard <stallard@xxxxxxx>]

Here's what I what to do.  It's very simple.  I have RTFM, and I'm still
confused.

I have a folder C:/Java where I keep a large set of utility class files
I've created and which I use in all my projects.  It contains a
package-appropriate directory structure, so I should be able to add
'C:/Java' to my classpath.  That's worked in evey other IDE I've used.  

But Eclipse seems to want me to either 1) put these class files in a
sub-folder of the project folder or 2) make the class files into a JAR! 
I don't want to do either!

Am I missing something?  Can I just edit the (Ant?) .classpath file
directly?
