Build Identifier: It does not seem possible to import a .jar file within a project. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click within Projects 2. Select Import There seems to be no option to import a .jar file, whilst this has been documented at http://www.eclipse-blog.org/eclipse-ide/exportingimporting-jar-files.html, perhaps for a different version. Please advise.
You can use File > Import > Archive. Please use the newsgroups/forum to ask questions before opening a bug report.
It won't work as expected with .JAR files, however, I found another option after a while, which allowed me to import an external JAR. Would you consider having "on mouse hover" kind of help because Eclipse includes extensive functionality, and, it is a pity that some of it is not immediately and intuitively available.
>It won't work as expected with .JAR files Probably depends on what you expect ;-) What exactly did you try to achieve?

Just trying to configure Apache Log 4j logging services (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html), and, including the .JAR is a good way to start trainng.
In that case there is no need to import the JAR but simply add it the Java build path.

No. You would either use 'Add JARs...' or 'Add External JARs...' on the 'Libraries' tab.
