I have a dependency that includes several jar files in the lib folder. When I try to compile my application, it does not find the classes in those jar files.

Dependency in question

More specifically, it fails to find the classes defined in polyglot.jar, with this error:

Error:scalac: Class polyglot.frontend.JLExtensionInfo not found - continuing with a stub.

Is there any way to make the included jar files visible on the classpath, without copying them into my own project's lib folder?

Thanks!

    Are you putting a jar inside a jar (looks that way on the screenshot)? That will [never work](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/183292/classpath-including-jar-within-a-jar)… – 0__ May 07 '16 at 10:33

What 0__ said: no, nested jars won't be discovered. There are some workarounds, but they really aren't worth it. If you want the jars as unmanaged dependencies, you'll have to add them to your own lib/.
