Build 200408161051 1) Have a JavaApp 2) Properties|Build|Compiling Sources|Add JAR 3) Select a directory, OK 4) ERROR: directory was added.
It is supposed to, actually; it really means "add JAR, ZIP, or folder". (From time to time you may need to add a folder of class files that are not packaged in a ZIP. Ant and the Java launcher support this fine, so there is no particular reason to forbid it.) The dialog title even says "Add JAR/Folder" but I think it would be too much text for the button. Leave to Jano to comment. (I think I have heard of others being confused by this as well.)
BTW: "Add JAR/Folder..." was the naming in the past (I think) and it is still in WebApp customizer (you can compare how it looks). Reopening till Jano's opinion.
The spec actually says the button should be named: "Add JAR/Folder". It isn't very nice, but I hope it is clear.
And "Ad JAR/Folder..." will be consistent with web/project too.
OK, should be better that way.
