hi all,

I'm trying to rebuild an old project from scratch.

this project needs com.oroinc.text.regex.* classes. the needed .class
are located in .zip file containing the folder tree
com|oroinc|text|regex|*.class

I tried to add the classes with "import > archive file". the compiler
does not report errors on the import statement but reports errors as
soon as I try to use whatever come from these .class

so I deleted what I've just imported and added the  .zip archive to my
project with "Build Path > Add external archives" but when I export the
resulting project, the external archive (and so, the corresponding
.class) is not included in the resulting .jar file :(

where am I wrong ?

TIA,
Pierre.
