Installing Java 3D onto Eclipse

Question

I have already set my variable paths to include the bin and lib file for j3d. When I open eclipse, I have to manually build path->configure build path->add jars and add all the .jar files for every project. Then I have to set their native paths to the .bin folder. It's a very tedious process. I was wondering if there is a way where I can install j3D into my eclipse so all the libraries are already added to all projects.

Answer 1

Forgive me if you have tried this or it seems obvious, but perhaps you could use a library management tool like Maven or ANT (which comes with Eclipse).

These tools allow you to include all necessary libraries for a bulid into a pom.xml file. And then ANT/Maven software does all the tedious including for you during the build process. The tools have a bit of overhead involved, but there are plenty of tutorials out there to help you learn them. We typically use Maven in all of our larger Eclipse projects.
