I think it would be useful in some cases a checkbox for "Libraries" properties, to copy dependences (jars) to "dist" better than "dist/lib". Example: Library projects: Cafe, Lait and Moka Application projects: FindRepe, FindRepeGui, FindRepeImg and FindRepeImgGui Dependences: FindRepe: Cafe FindRepeGui: FindRepe, Cafe, Lait FindRepeImg: Cafe, Lait, Moka, FindRepe FindRepeImgGui: Cafe, Lait, Moka, FindRepe, FindRepeImg I want to distribute all applications packed together but there is a problem. I have the following jar files: FindRepe: FindRepe.jar lib/Cafe.jar FindRepeGui: FindRepeGui.jar lib/FindRepe.jar lib/Cafe.jar lib/Lait.jar FindRepeImg: FindRepeImg.jar lib/Cafe.jar lib/Lait.jar lib/Moka.jar lib/FindRepe.jar FindRepeImgGui: FindRepeImgGui.jar lib/Cafe.jar lib/Lait.jar lib/Moka.jar lib/FindRepe.jar lib/FindRepeImg.jar So if I group them in a directory, have the following jar files: FindRepe.jar FindRepeGui.jar FindRepeImg.jar FindRepeImgGui.jar lib/Cafe.jar lib/Lait.jar lib/Moka.jar lib/FindRepe.jar lib/FindRepeImg.jar FindRepe.jar FindRepeImg.jar are repeated but I can't delete any of both copies because - if I delete lib/FindRepe.jar then FindRepeGui.jar, FindRepeImg.jar and FindRepeImgGui.jar will fail - if I delete FindRepe.jar then lib/FindRepe.jar will fail (it needs lib/lib/Cafe.jar) Solution: A checkbox for "Libraries" properties, to copy dependences (jars) to "dist" better than "dist/lib" (and the the appropiate reference in the jar manifest). Then I would have Cafe.jar Lait.jar Moka.jar FindRepe.jar FindRepeImg.jar FindRepeGui.jar FindRepeImgGui.jar Now there is only a copy of each jar and all would work as expected.
