How to Tell Eclipse to Include Standard .jar Library for All Projects

Question

I realize that in eclipse you can specify certain .jar libraries to add for individual projects, but I was wondering if it was possible to make it such that eclipse automatically adds standard .jar's to the classpath for all projects. I'm using eclipse for a java course and would like to be able to automatically use the course's stdlib for all projects.

Answer 1

Under Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs find your default JRE (the checked one) and hit Edit. Add jars that you want.

Answer 2

By default, if it's a java project then eclipse includes required jar files, but in addition if you need more jars then you could create user libraries by

Window - Preferences - Java - Build Path - User Libraries.

rather mixing JDK jars with user libraries.
