Xcode 2.2 add library from /usr/local

I am having a problem adding libraries to a project using Xcode 2.2 from locations like /usr/local. Using the add to project window, I can get to the root directory but /usr folder does not show up. I recall in previous Xcode there was a goto folder entry where you could add /usr and then browse from there. I have not found a way around this limitation with Xcode 2.2.

After selecting "Add to Project..." and you get to the "Open" dialog you can use the same key combination as "Go to folder" in Finder (<Command><Shift>G). This will give you a type-in field to type the path.

I think this key combo works in Open/Save dialogs in most if not all apps in 10.4.

Thanks Steve,

That worked. I guess I should have known that.

I'm just now starting to use Xcode for Cocoa-Java development (I usually use NetBeans, sometimes Eclipse), so I'm just learning the ropes. Does "Add files to project..." mean add them to the classpath? If so, does it actually copy the files into Xcode, or just references? If not, how do I do that with Xcode?

Thanks,
