Add project JAR to deployment assembly but not build path in Eclipse

Question

Eclipse automatically adds everything in WEB-INF/lib (specified in deployment assembly) to the project's build path. Is there a way to override this behavior? I need for another project jar to be deployed and available at run time but not have a forced compile-time dependency on it. Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to the properties window of the project. Then go to java build path tab and remove the relevant other project from libraries there. Then go to projects in the same tab and select the required project by using the add option and add it. Then restart Eclipse.
