Bug 179142

There seems to be a huge disconnect between a standard NetBeans project and a NetBeans module. The only way to include the product of a project is to wrap the library as a NB module. Unfortunately, without hacking up the project files by hand, the sources and other project dependencies are lost during this wrapping and the output jar has to continuously copied to the wrapped library module. 

I would like to see an option to wrap a NetBeans project as a NetBeans Module. With this option the project sources would be available and the library would be dependent on the NetBeans project for updates. Ideally there would be an option to include other dependent jars in the project in the library as well "ext" directory.

The goal should be to make it easy to wrap a project as a NetBeans library module. (Currently, it is more ideal to develop using the "project" since the "run" function is disabled in modules.)
