How to add external libraries in a Play2.1 scala project?

I want to use scala compiler library, and add it in Eclipse, but when compiling the project again using eclipse, the library is deleted automatically by the compilation. What's wrong with that?

So the question is: if my play project want to use scala-compiler.jar, how to add that? it does not work by using build path-> configure build path... in eclipse...

I also tried to put all the jar files to the lib/ folder, but when compiling again in the server using eclipse, it still gives out compiling errors because of not finding the jars.

Thanks in advance,

The most failure-proof way to add it is to use Play's configuration builder, not adding it explicitly with Eclipse. To build a correct Eclipse project, use:

$ play
[YourProject] $ eclipse
[info] About to create Eclipse project files for your project(s).
[info] Successfully created Eclipse project files for project(s):

Then you can import it from Eclipse under File/Import/General/Existing project… (see here for more).

Note that Play uses sbt, which is already configured to use some version of Scala.
