That's usually not the best way to do it (at least in Glassfish-land)
though, because that jar is visible to all installed apps. It gets
complicated if different servelets require different versions of some
libraries.

If you're using .war packaging, you should be able to get Eclipse to
include the required jar in the package. In NetBeans it "just works"
(especially with Maven war packaging) but perhaps Eclipse needs a bit
more help.
