Which OS are you using? I was unable to do this in Windows 7 64-bit, but I found that if I opened Windows Explorer and browsed to the file, I could copy (i.e. CTRL-C), switch to Eclipse, and then right-click and paste the JAR file into \libs.

If this doesn't work, you can copy the file into the \libs directory in Windows Explorer and then refresh the project, or you can right-click the \libs folder in Eclipse and then "Import" from a "file system" (which I believe is the intended usage, but the method above is just so much easier and quicker).

Somehow it became unable to do that on my windows 7 64bit. I used to be able to. Just for now, COPY the file, right-click the "libs" folder in eclipse, and PASTE it, until somebody puts the solution.

Oops, John Coffin already mentioned that. Forgive me for this post, because I can't delete it.
