This one? <http://www.jdom.org/>

Must you? Is that what the JDOM documentation
says? That sounds very unusual.

Usually a library/API is distributed as .jar files,
and the way to use them is to ensure that they
are available on the application's *classpath* at
compile and (for deployment) runtime.

There are a number of ways to do that, for
deployment. One is to put the other jar's in
a path 'known to the application jar' (same
directory is easiest) and specify them in the
main jar's manifest file. Another way that I
have more experience with, is to deploy using
web start, and simply list the other jar's as
resources in the JNLP launch file.

I don't provide support for eclipse. You
might try the eclipse forums, for that.

Let me see if I can help you out.

I have a project called "testing"
I want to add the jdom library to it.
On my machine (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn server) I have the jdom framework
stored in
/usr/local/jdom-1.0

Now if I right click on my project then select
Build Path and then Configure Build Path, I'll select the
Libraries tab then "Add External Jars"
Then I navigate to the /usr/local/jdom-1.0/build directory
and select the jdom.jar file
Then just "Ok" your way back out and you're done.
jdom.jar is now on your project build path.

PS- See if you can start posting in plain text. Some people will get
annoyed by posting in html because not all news readers can handle it.

What HTML formatting? I can see no sign of it in
either my current web interface to usenet (see sig.),
nor the 'view source' mode of GG.

HTML formatting in usenet posts is quite annoying,
but I /think/ you misjudged this post.

Fine, my bad. I didn't check the headers. To the OP, I hope you were
able to use at least one piece of my feeble attempt to help. I don't
"support" eclipse, but I've had the exact same problem before and that's
what I did to make it work. Others may have better ideas, and that's
fine as well.

Some news clients, such as Thunderbird on Linux (Fedora Core 7) in my case,
use a different font for each different character encoding. I tell
Thunderbird to figure everything is UTF-8, but when it isn't (e.g., "gb2312")
then it (or the OS, not sure which) picks a different font from usual. I used
to think it was HTML abuse, too, until the headers convinced me otherwise.

Ahhh, the joys of technology. Who'd a thunk it.
