Netbeans and source folders.

Question

Hello,

I am working on a large project and I have configured multiple source package folders.

Project -> Properties -> Sources

However, when I import a library from this other source folder it says it doesn't exist so obviously with source folder is only liked in during compile time.

How do I get my project to reference these source files to work within my project without creating class files etc, and keeping both source directories separate from one another?

Thanks

Answer 1

Make sure package names are correctly defined!

If I understand your question correctly, you wish to make the source files from one NetBeans (Java Application) project A visible in another like project B.

In project B:

1. Go to Properties >> Libraries
2. Go to the Libraries category
3. Go to the Compile tab
4. Choose 'Add Project...' and select project A.

Regardless of whether the sources in A have been compiled, you should then be able to use them (e.g., name auto-complete, javadoc peek) when editing source code in B.
