Creating a Library Project

A Library project serves as a container for several JAR files or references to other J2EE server components, such as libraries, interfaces, or services.

1. Choose File → New → Project.
2. Select the category J2EE Server Component (in the left pane), followed by Library (in the right pane). Then choose Next.
3. Enter a project name and specify the Project contents path, if applicable.
4. Specify the location where the project will be saved.

   To use the default location in the workspace, choose Use default. Otherwise, specify the desired project location.

5. Choose Finish.

The wizard generates an empty Library project. After the generation is completed, the J2EE perspective is opened automatically. The logical project structure is displayed in the J2EE Explorer and contains the two XML files: sda-dd.xml and provider.xml.

You can now add JARs or references to the library project.
