Description Matthias Zimmermann

To integrate additional and existing functionality to a scout application we typically need to add external JAR files in the Eclipse Java perspective.

The existing process is somewhat clumsy:
(1) switch from the Scout SDK perspective to Java perspective
(2) select/open the target plugin in the package explorer
(3) add a lib folder
(4) copy the jar files into the newly created lib folder
(5) open the plugin.xml
(6) go into the runtime tab of the plugin editor
(7) in the classpath box click on "Add ..." and select the copied jars
(8) save the plugin.xml

The above process breaks the working flow in the Scout SDK unnecessarily and should be replaced by something more userfriendly.
