Contributed Library Questions

I try for some days to get some contributed libraries at work with Processing 1.5.1.
I followed all the given hits (as I hope ) for that like posted in https://forum.processing.org/topic/how-to-install-a-contributed-library and it's follow ups.
Whe I download a contributed lib, unzip it, check the directory structure of the package, rename the folder in that way it has the same name like the jar-file ... even then Processing will not recognize the lib.
Example:
I try to use SurfaceLib1.2
directory structure is set:
a)
/Users/ME/Documents/Processing/libraries/surfaceLib/library
-> Precessing sees no lib
b)
/Users/ME/Documents/Processing/libraries/surfaceLib/library
+
/Users/ME/Documents/Processing/Sketches/Libraries/....(copy of surfaceLib)
-> Precessing sees no lib
c)
/Users/ME/Documents/Processing/Libraries/surfaceLib/library
-> Processing lists the Upercase written folder Libraries as SubItem under File->Sketchbook->Libraries
with content
surfaceLib->examples-> doubleCone ... whitneyUmbrella
All of these files I can open but they are not build-/runnable because the path to the library does not fit.
The sketchbook location was set up correctly in preferences, but no success.
The same mess I have with all other libs.This also is the same with Mac and Windows.
After that I found an old processing 1.0.3 on my Windows notebook. There I have the same settings regarding the sketchbook location.
With these, the same directory-structure "Processing 1.5.x" does not get satisfied "Processing 1.0.3" in oposit will bring out running applications.
This I have positive-proved at least with MSAfuid package.
What is the reason for?
How can I use recent processing versions with contributed libs?
I would shurely prefere not have to set the correct path by hand so the promised feature "Add Library" would thankfull appreciated - but I have not yet found "processing 2.0" which should contain this.
Much thanks in advance.
