Original description

In the http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Eclipse documentation in the section about "Copying the library from an Arduino IDE project" when discussing adding the arduino core.a file to an Eclipse project the following passage says to add it to the project, but it does not say where in the tree it should be added. I added it at the top level, but I am not sure that this is the right place?

C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\buildXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.tmp The X's in the build...tmp directory are a hash that map to the project whose temporary files are held in the directory. The temporary files are named after the project, so you can verify that you're copying the correct library.

Copy the core.a file into your own project directory, and rename it to libArduinoCore.a. You can call it anything, so long as it starts with "lib" and ends with ".a". It might be a good idea to name the file after its target, e.g. libArduinoMegaCore.a, so that you can always tell what the library's target architecture is.
What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system? Which Arduino board are you using?
