The dependency libraries are in the same location on disk and include the following:

• activation.jar
• commons-codec-1.3.jar
• commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar
• commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
• jaxb-api.jar

You can create User Libraries in NetBeans and Eclipse to accelerate development with the AgsJWS API. 

NetBeans v6.5.1

1. From the tools menu, select Libraries to open the Library Manager. 
2. Click the ‘New Library…’ button to create a new Library and name it ‘AgsJWSv9.3.1′.
3. Select a Library Type

5. With your new ‘AgsJWSv9.3.1′ library selected in the left hand Libraries pane, click the ‘Add JAR/Folder’ button.
6. Navigate to the ‘$ARCGISHOME/java/web/webcontrols/WEB-INF/lib’ folder location.
7. Select the ESRI AgsJWS libraries and dependency libraries described above and click ‘Add JAR/Folder’.

5. Navigate to the ‘$ARCGISHOME/java/web/webcontrols/WEB-INF/lib’ folder location.
6. Select the ESRI AgsJWS libraries and dependency libraries described above and click ‘Open’.
7. You should now see all the libraries added with options to attach source and javadoc locations. 

Now you can add the library to a new project or existing project by clicking the ‘Add Library’ in the New Project dialog and/or the Project Preferences dialog respectively.  In Eclipse, your library is added to the ‘User Library’ category by default.  Once you select User Library, you can add the appropriate library to your project.
