Creating an External Library
Use
If you want to use the following import in your Java Class file:
import com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.IPcdGlService;
and this class is available in the com.sap.portal.pcd.glserviceapi JAR file, you will have to declare a dependency to the JAR file. Thus, you need to reference a dependency to a public part that is made available using an external library.
Prerequisites
You work in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

1. From the menu path, choose Window → Open Perspective → Other… and select from the list of perspectives the entry Development Configurations.
2. Open Local DCs view.
3. To create a new development component (DC), open the context menu of your software component (SC) and select Create New DC…
The New Development Component project dialog appears.
4. Specify the project data. For example:
