how do I delete .jar files in the JRE System Library?

My homework assignment for my class gave me a lot of .java files to import, I was fiddling with eclipse trying to find a way to import them in the package (I did not realize I could just drag and drop..), but instead I imported them in the JRE System library folder, where I can no longer remove them.

I understand the mistake that I made, however I cannot find a way to remove these files from JRE 1.7.

I re-installed eclipse, and even deleted the JRE7 folder and reinstalled JRE. But the files are still here.

Right click on "Exercise19" project => Build Path => Configure build path Goto to "libraries" tab. and remove this system library and click ok. Above step may give some complication errors in your project.

Then try adding a new library (the correct one) via Eclipse "Window => Preferences => Java => Installed JREs"

Then go back to project => Build Path => Configure build path ("libraries" tab) and "Add library" => "JRE System Library", click ok.

it should fix the issue.

Easier way would be

File->new java project->configure jre(blue text)->(it will show the installed jres and you can remove any which you dont want)

Go to Window -> Preference -> Java -> Installed JREs -> select the jre -> edit -> click on the jar to remove -> remove on the right menu.
