I’m trying to make modifications to the trunk found at https://wafle.svn.codeplex.com/svn SVN repository location. The way that I did this in Eclipse was that I used Subclipse, added a new repository location, then opened up the project and right clicked on the trunk. Then I clicked “checkout” and checked it out as a new Java project. Then I found the folder containing the source code that I want to change and recompile and I used Build Path->Make source folder. Next, I realized that I needed 190394994 jar files that were all in different places under the project’s “Third Party” folder. So I used Build Path->Configure Build Path in Eclipse, then individually added each jar I needed through “Add External Jars”.

My question is; did I do all of this right, and is there something I could have done more easily, such as import all the jars at once instead of individually clicking each?

Thanks.

    First thing: rajah9 is exactly correct – there is a .classpath file already.
    You just got a little hung up on a really odd svn repo layout. the java stuff is mixed in with the .net stuff. Check out the trunk and then do a file > import… then select general > existing projects into workspace. You’ll want to select the Source/JNAWindowsAuthProvider/ folder.
    There is already a .classpath that references the jars in the ThirdParty folder. (not quite 190 million)

    Second thing: when you added the jars as external jars, it makes an absolute path to the jar file. you want to always avoid that, if you hit the add jars button it will be a relative path.
