Tab Libraries Property Editor

Tip Note that this feature might not be included in your version of the IDE. If it is not available, you can edit the deployment descriptor (web.xml) file using the editor of your choice. For more information, see Java Servlet 2.3 Specification available at http://java.sun.com/products/servlet .

The Tag Libraries property editor is primarily used to show you which tag libraries have been added and to change the URI mappings of the tag libraries. Each entry corresponds to a <taglib> element in the deployment descriptor.

You can use the Tag Libraries property editor to add, edit, or remove references to the tag library JAR from the selected web module. Adding or removing items using the Tag Libraries property editor does not affect the tag library JAR file in the WEB-INF/lib folder. However, if you choose Add JSP Tag Library from the contextual menu for the selected web module, an entry for each tag library is created in Tag Libraries property editor.
