Hi Wureka, Just as Ivan said, the <dep:dependency> just tell geronimo server to find the dependency. The red circle X in eclipse is caused by compiler, so you need to add commons-collections-3.2.jar to the build path of your project.
Try, build path->"configure build path" ->"java build path" ->"libaries"- >"add external library". Hope it helps! 2009/7/16 David Jencks <david_jen...@yahoo.com> > > On Jul 15, 2009, at 6:54 PM, Wureka wrote: > > >> >> Hi, >> I use Eclipse 3.4 to develop a WAR application for Geronimo 2.1.4. >> The application needs commons-collections-3.2.jar.
