Eclipse | Dynamic Web Project | JAR File

Question

By adding JAR files in \WebContent\WEB-INF\lib folder, everything is working fine. But I don't want to do that. I don't want to add my JAR files in my project folder rather I want to keep the JAR files in separate folder (Out of Project folder) and access the files. I tried by adding in classpath but it's not working. May I know how to add JAR file path in \WebContent\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file ?

What's the error message for "It's not working"? Did you go into your web project's Deployment Assembly property page and flag those jars as needing to be deployed? — nitind, Jan 30 '20 at 01:39

Try adding the jars here:

Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs

you can create a maven project. you can solve it by creating multiple modules in a project and every module set it as a <packaging>jar</packaging> .

you can add pom.xml in the main module as below

<modules>
        <module>XXX</module>
</modules>
