Creating and Using With Library Sets

What is a library set?

A library set is just a collection of any Jar files. You can create as library sets as you need. Library sets are used to create Custom Capabilities and new JSF or Struts environments.

A Custom Capability is just a collection of one or more Library Sets. When you add a Custom Capability to your project, the Jar files from Library Sets included in this Capability will be copied to project lib folder.

A new JSF or Struts environment is also just a collection of one or more Library Sets. When you create a new project based on this environment, all Jar files form Library Sets included in this environment will be copied to project lib folder. This also works during project import.

To create a new library set (or edit an existing), select Window/Preferences/Exadel/Library Sets.

The top window shows all existing library sets. The lower window shows what Jar files are included in for a selected library set.

To add a new library set, click Add for the top window.

To add new Jar files (libraries) to a library set, first select a library set and click Add for the lower window. Browse to the location of the Jar file you want to add. The file can be anywhere on your machine and will be copied to your Eclipse workspace. If you upgrade to a new Exadel Studio version, you will not lose your library sets.
