[FIXED] Netbeans : Library's are not included in the project folder

Issue

I need to package a netbeans project up as a zip so I can send it around a few developers. However I have built a library as another project and included it as a library using the netbeans "add project" option.

However....

the libray is never added to the project folder... is there a setting I can change that include the jar so other developer can unzip the project and use "out of the box"?

Cheers

Solution

Not sure if this is what you need:

1. Right click on your project -> Properties
2. Libraries -> Libraries Folder -> Browse
3. Select the folder [Step 1] (eg. insert ./lib - directory is created if not existing) -> Next
4. Set the Actions as you need [Step 2], maybe the default action ("Use Existing ...") is already what you need
5. Finish

This will ...

• Create a common Lib directory in your project folder
• If you clean & build your project there will be a lib folder in the dist directory which contains all your libraries of the project
