Very strange indeed. If I understand correctly, even if you create a
new project from scratch, and link it to the ERJars frameworks and
then you build this project, you get the missing jar error?
Have you tried cleaning up all the projects in Eclipse (Projects ->
Clean...) or at least the ERJars project?
I sometimes need to do that to get rid of weird errors in Eclipse /
WOLips especially after updating my WOnder sources.

Your ERJars setup sounds identical to mine. I don't see the *.jar
files in WOLips Package Explorer either, I thought it was due some
filter settings but a quick look didn't not reveal any *.jar specific
filter, the 4 jars are there in the Finder though and they are
referenced from the
What do you mean by not being able to build ERJars? In my case, in
Eclipse everything is build automatically incrementally (I think
that's the default) and I'm not sure the Ant building does much since
there's nothing to compile (the ERJars.jar is essentially empty), do
you get an error message from Ant?
