Description
I can't add manually my jar to my project in any way.
First, I made a lib folder and add on the configuration file :
{
"java.compile.nullAnalysis.mode": "disabled",
"java.project.referencedLibraries": [
"lib/**/*.jar"
]
}
Didn't works, the jar is not referenced.
I tried to add it with the project setting pane, get an error :
!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core 4 2 2026-02-12 07:53:10.315

The only solution/workaround I found, it's to put the jar outside of my project and use the project setting pane.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Reproduce the failure with a project-local lib/**/*.jar entry in java.project.referencedLibraries, then trace the reported ProjectCommand.java path conversion at line 351. Confirm how the project setting pane supplies the classpath and identify the boundary where the relative path is rejected. Done means a jar inside the project is accepted and referenced without the absolute-path exception.
