One feature I like in MyEclipse (or is it an Eclipse feature?) is the ability to add pre-defined and user defined libraries to a project through the IDE. For instance, if you're using Hibernate, there's a library that contains all the necessary jars that can be added to the buildpath of the project. Since these are user-definable too, it's easy to create your own library with all your commonly used libs/jars.

One way I would like to see this feature improved is the ability to add/manage these libraries in version control with a project so that everything needed to compile/run a project is kept with the source. Doing this "manually" is pretty straightforward, but I think it would be nice to see it integrated along with the existing lib management feature in the IDE.

So, my question... Does IDEA handle library management through the IDE in a simliar way? And if it does, can you commit those libs to version control?

EDIT: Oops.. MyEclipse does give you the option of adding the jars directly to the project source when you choose to add a pre-defined or custom library.

Mmmm...have you tried -

File -> Settings -> JDK & Global Libraries -> Global Libraries
