eclipse creating user library using variable to specify jars path

Question

Is there a way to create user library in eclipse using class path variable to add relative path jars to the library

Answer 1

The approach suggested by GGrec is functional and I used it. But "User Libraries" allow some sort of grouping/structuring, for example "Jersey", or "Hibernate", etc. I found an alternative way to get it working: Created the simplest Eclipse Project. Then inside it created "Linked Resource" Folder using an Eclipse Path Variable. Now I can create the necessary "User Libraries" and "Add JARs" to them, using this Linked resource folder. In case the location of the jars is changed, the only thing that should be altered is the Eclipse Path Variable, pointing to them. May be this approach can help someone else.

Answer 2

It's easy. Don't use User Libraries. Instead, use Variables. Example from my workspace:
