In such cases, when you click this button, the Downloading Options dialog opens in which you can select the necessary library version, and also to select the files to be downloaded. As a result, the files in the library will be replaced with the downloaded files. |

Options for adding items to a Java or ActionScript/Flex library
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Attach Files or Directories (Add Library Components) |
Whichever resource types available locally you want to add to the library
(classes, sources, documentation, etc.), use this option.
In the dialog that opens, select the necessary files and folders. For a Java library, these may be individual .class, .java, .jar and .zip files, the directories containing such files, etc. For an ActionScript/Flex library, these may be raw ActionScript 3 libraries, .swc, .jar and .zip files, the directories containing such files, and so on. Note that a number of files and folders can be selected simultaneously. IntelliJ IDEA will analyze the selected files and folders, and automatically assign their contents to the appropriate library categories (Classes, Sources, Documentation, etc.). In cases when detection of a category is problematic (e.g. when you select an empty folder), a dialog will be shown, in which you will be able to specify the category yourself. |
| Specify Documentation URL (Add Documentation URL) | To be able to use external documentation available online, use this option and specify the URL of the external documentation in the dialog that opens. |
