Adding Tag Libraries

There are two ways to add any custom or 3rd party tag library to the Exadel Palette:

• Drag-and-drop from the Web Projects view
• The Import button on the Exadel Palette

Before you can add your custom component library, you need to make sure it is included in your project. Either place the .tld file or the .jar that includes your tag library under the lib folder in your project. Restart Eclipse.

The best way to add any custom library is by using the Custom Capability feature. It is also possible to just copy the Jar file directly under project WEB-INF\lib directory.

Drag-and-Drop

Switch to the Web Projects view and expand the Tag Libraries folder. If the view not active, select Window/Show View/Web Projects from the menu bar.

Also make sure that the Exadel Palette is open. Select the tag library that you want to add and simply drag-and-drop it on to the Exadel Palette.

You will see the following dialog window. As you can see Exadel Studio takes care of all the details. You just need to set the Group name to which to add this tag library. You can either add this tag library to an existing Group or just create a new one.

Once you are finished, you will see the new tag library added to the Exadel Palette.

Import Button

On this screen you can select Browse to locate the tag library that you want to add.
