Hi Experts,
I am using Netbeans and I have a number of projects.
Recently some of these projects became interdependent.
I would like to reference (via import?) the source files of any project from any other netbeans project, rather than copying the sources in-between the projects.
How do I do this practically?
Please be explicit ;)
Thanks

Well in all of the projects there would be a dist folder which contains a jar file.
Now how to I include a jar file from a different project?
What happens if I want to distribute the project with the dependency?
Will it be automatically resolved or would I have to package all dependent jar files as well?
I don't think it'll be automatically resolved although you might be able automate it with an ANT script.
You should be able to include compiled code (JAR og subfolder with class-files), by going to the Libraries-node in the Project navigator of your project (Netbeans 5), and then just RMB Add JAR/Folder.
Hi...
I don't know of a way to automatically include only dependent classes, at least not dynamically... However, you likely are able to do this with ANT, but it might be quite complex, and if you for instance only want partial content (some classes but not all) of a JAR-file distributed, you probably have to specify each individual class and where to copy etc. in the ANT-script.
Since filesize is of lesser importance these days, I would probably recommend you just distribute the whole JAR-files.

create a jar file which includes global methods you need, and use it in any project.
