This leads to a question about developing using Eclipse: I put libraries I need for my applications in that location so that Eclipse can find them easily. It sounds like I should be putting them in a different location and then adding them as external jars for each project. This seems like it could lead to having multiple copies of possibly different versions of jars scattered all over the place.
I'm not really an application developer, I write scientific programs for research. I'm beginning to suspect that there is a methodology I should have been using that would avoid this problem. What is the 'right way' to handle external libraries, especially if I'm creating my own libraries? Can I put jars in jars? In Eclipse?
