java - Eclipse buildpath automatically taking all JARs of a internal directory

Question

How do I configure my project buildpath to have a set of .jar files located in the same directory automatically included in the buildpath ? Meaning that adding a new .jar file to this directory (and refreshing the project) updates the buildpath ? Rem : I am not working in a Webapp but in a standalone Java app. I know that it is possible in a Dynamic Web Project to have all the .jars located in WEB-INF/lib to be included in the build path. Is it possible to do kind of the same include but in standalone app ?

I am using Eclipse 3.4

AFAIK, there's no normal way to do this.

If you really want, there's a little hack. Eclipse .classpath file is a very simple XML. You can write a script or ant task that goes over a directory, updates .classpath xml and refreshes the project.
