Description Luciana Moreira CLA 2010-05-28 10:55:24 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20090621-0832

After adding many jar files to the project classpath I got an error in the Java editor every time that I tried to press F3 to open a class, even though the project apparently had no errors.

It turns out that a license.txt was also added together with the jar files to the classpath. Eclipse did not show an error on the build classpath screen nor when I pressed F3. It would be useful if Eclipse could verify if the jar/zip files are:
1) Not corrupt
2) Are indeed a jar file

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a .txt file as a jar in the classfile
2.Try to open a class with F3
