I have a lovely Eclipse project with source and various referenced libraries.
I was playing the the Jar creation tool, but can't figure out one thing.

What is the best way to instruct it to build a jar with all
of the .classes from various libraries (i.e. Junit, whatever
JDBC I using etc.)

It seems kludgie to unzip all such jars into a resource directory, it would
certainly slow down project rebuilds wouldn't it?

What is the reasonable clean approach using Eclipse to identify contents of
Jars that I want to place into my final build jar (it is not a J2EE war file
just a jar full of classes and resources)?
