When creating a project with existing Ant script and specifying Source and Test package folders separately on Source Package Folders panel, then on Java Sources Classpath panel 'Separate Classpath for Each Source Package Folder' checkbox is disabled and user have to add all jars/folders for each source package folders (there may be lots of packages). So, in case user have many source package folders and many jars/folders for classpath it is inconvenient to add all jars/folders for each source package. Once we have divided source packages into the source and the test groups, it may be useful to provide the possibility to add classpath for the source and the test groups separately. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200708211200) Java: 1.6.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-b105 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86;
You can get the desired behavior by editing project.xml directly. (You can either add all the source packages to one compilation unit, in which case they may freely refer to one another; or you can retain separate compilation units but avoid redundancy by defining properties in the <properties> section which can be referred to from the <classpath>s of each compilation unit.) The GUI customizer only offers to set up the most common configurations; for anything advanced it is best to go to project.xml.
