I am ready to either jump off a bridge or throw a laptop off said bridge. Can anyone recommend a good book or web page on file permissions in Vista? I am developing a Java project in MyEclipse on Vista Home edition. I have 3 jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Two of them are living "right" and I am allowed to add them to the project Build Path; however, the third file which I and a couple of other users also have Full Control of is not even visible as a choice to add to the library. I just cannot see the difference in the 3 files. Some of the permissions are inherited versus being , whatever the correct term is here I am not sure, but rather than being granted locally to that directory I suppose is the best way to say it. Maybe I should just backup and spend a month studying Vista, but I don't feel I have the time so any advice would be most appreciated.

The file I am having problems with is log4j- 1.2.15.jar if that should make any difference.

Here is the oh so simple solution from the MyEclipse forums:

Can you switch to the navigator view, right-click refresh the project, make sure it's not in the LIB dir,
then try and drag and drop the JAR into the lib dir and see if it shows up.



All I had to do was refresh the project! How many times have we forgotten a simple step and made the solution so complex?
Thanks to everyone who took a look at this.
