Where I work, we have several Java webapp projects, stored in a SVN repository, that need to share code.  Sharing Java
classes is easy, because we can make a separate class library and link to it from multiple projects.  But we would also
like to be able to share certain JSP files and static resources like CSS and graphics.  These resources need to be built
into the final .war file that we deploy, but we would like them stored at a shared location in SVN (i.e. not inside any
one of our webapp projects).  Ideally, we could have a separate project in SVN that included all these shared resources,
and each webapp project could link to some of those files in the external directory where they were checked out.  This
would work like the "add file reference" choice in a Visual Studio C++ project.  At any point in the project tree in the
Projects pane, you could add a file or directory by reference, and the files would appear and behave like any other file
in the project (including being automatically copied to the bundled Tomcat instance when edited).  I have not found a
way to achieve anything like this under NetBeans 5.5.
