I like to know what is the best way/expert way of copying a project in Netbeans.
I have an existing project that was built from scratch in Netbeans6(NB). I like to begin a second project that builds on the top of the first. So I want to create a second project which has all the source and resource files that are in the first project. Right click and copying the project does create a new project. if I refactor the packages names to reflect the new needs. I have some problems: main class, or with resource files. example: logo or button jpgs which were used in the GUI have URLs with the package name in them do not get updated and I have to do it manually. So I ask the experts to point out the best way to copy an exisiting project in Netbeans...
thanks

I would actual recommend that you utilize the existing project as a library to the second. if you are in deed building functionality on-top of the base project, I would not copy the code but instead reference it like you would any other API. Then when you update the implementation in the future, you only have the make the change in one place.

For changing the package use the refactor option with a checkbox which indicates "Update textual occurrences"
