| Select "Import" from the Navigator or Package View. |  |
| From the list of import features select "User Libraries" |  |
| Specify under "Location of
ZIP files" the directory where the zip files are stored which contains
the libraries which your want to import.
The directory which you specify under "Location of target directory for user libraries" will receive all the proceed zip files and the unpacked jar files which are selected later on for importation. |
 |
| Now the directory specified under "Location of ZIP files" is scanned and the found zip files are analyzed for contained jar, java and package-list files. |  |
| The List shows the future
user libraries which the zip files form which they are build. From the
zip file names certain patterns are delete. The resulting name forms
the user library name. In such a way zip files are grouped. (Mainly to
group Apache Commons library zip files.) The
BuildUserLibsPluginResources.properties file, included in the plugin
jar defines the patterns to be deleted from the zip file names.
Now you may move zip files from one user library to another. This will result in change of the information shown under the "Jars" entry. The "Jars" entry list all jar files contributed by the zip files to the user library. The example shows three jar files, which are stored in the "commons-attributes-2.1.zip" file. Only the "commons-attributes-api-2.1.jar" has source code and javadoc which is included in both zip files. |

| User library can by excluded
from the import process by toggling their activation.
Renaming and insertion of new user libraries are not supported because of the easy handling of creating a single user library entry of the Eclipse JDT.
