Description Eric Norman CLA 2006-09-08 20:01:38 EDT 
It appears that the JSF Library References are stored as persistent properties on the IProject resource.  This means that if the project is exported (or shared in a source control system) and then opened in another workspace (or other machine), the JSF Library References must be re-added to the project.

Can the JSF Library References be stored in a file in the project .settings  instead?

This is actually a big problem for us since we can not ship a sample project to a customer without including instructions for doing the manual steps of adding the library references back into the project.  Not a great user experience.

Agree with your request. We are planning on addressing this in the WTP 2.0 release. We will too late in the cycle for a 1.5.1 release, but we will review for an early fix.
Comment 2 Raghunathan Srinivasan CLA 2007-01-05 18:01:16 EST 
Triaged for WTP 2.0
Comment 3 Raghunathan Srinivasan CLA 2007-01-08 13:57:07 EST 
Dropping the priority to Major, triaged for WTP 2.0.
Comment 4 Gerry Kessler CLA 2007-04-02 13:17:23 EDT 
fixed because 142056 fixes this.   references are now in the .classpath file because the JSF Libraries are treated as CP Containers.
