Web App Libraries empty in Eclipse - no "jars" found

For me, the fix was simple:

  • Go here in the Eclipse menu: Project | Properties | Project Facets
  • Ensure "Java" and "Dynamic Web Project" are selected
  • Click OK

You may need to also do this:

  • Go here in the Eclipse menu: Project | Properties | Java Build Path | Libraries
  • Remove "Web App Libraries"
  • Click "Add Library"
  • Choose "Web App Library". Click "Next"
  • Choose your project in the drop down
  • Click OK

For me, Brad Parks's answer didn't worked in Eclipse Luna ( 4.4.2 ) i.e. Adding Web App Libraries had no effect ..that remained empty.

What I had to is to configure Web Deployment Assembly ...My lib was in WEB-INF which was again like - /{project}/web/WEB-INF/lib and when I added a Deployment Assembly entry like shown below ,

enter image description here

Then below these two I had an entry for every jar from {project}/web/WEB-INF/lib directory with Deploy Path as WEB-INF/lib.

This Deployment Assembly automatically populated my Web App Libraries.
