Description kitfox 2009-11-19 11:48:41 UTC

At the moment, if you want to add projects or jars to the library of a Java Class Library, you have to right click on the Libraries node of the project and browse for each an every one.  This is tedious if there are a large number of projects to add.  

Since most of the dependencies I need to add to my new project are already registered as libraries of other projects I have open, it would be very convenient to copy the library nodes in the Project window and paste them into my destination project.

Would be nice to have. Probably should include drag&drop copying too. May need a confirmation dialog, though.
