I have an existing Java project in Netbeans (a JSF web application). I'd like to experiment with GWT in a separate project - put pull in source from the original project. Is there any way to share source between two Netbeans projects.
When I attempt to add the source directory from the original project into the new the IDE complains that the source is already part of another project.
If you're only experimenting then copy the necessary part of the existing project to a different directory. Of course changes won't be synchronized later.
If you'd like to keep both projects alive then create a separate project with the common code, and use it as a library.
Use source control. With CVS, use modules. With Subversion, use svn:externals.
Alternatively, try moving the source folder outside both project folders. Then add the source to each project. Do not have both projects open at the same time.
