Just to clarify the details, I think you are saying that the best way to play
with Eclipse is to take any library I want to be in my non-j2EE application jar
and
(1) drop it from the list of libraries in the class path
(2) unsip the classes into some extra dir (maybe workspace/<project>/libclasses)
(3) identify this DIRECTORY as a source directory in the project (it will find
no sources, but it will move non-source out and into the bin dir when building)

This will result in a bigger and better set of classes in my bin and thus in the
final jar.

Are these the details of what you are suggesting?
