Description kitfox 2007-12-25 09:16:20 UTC 
Since a large number of C++ development projects in NetBeans will be Java or JNI related, and since a JDK is guaranteed
to already be installed on the machine running NetBeans, it would be very useful to allow easy, portable inclusion of
JDK and JRE libraries by the C++ linker.  

For example, I'm writing a project that depends on jre/bin/jawt.dll.  At the moment, I'm using a hard path to it which I
set via the Add Library... button.  It would be very helpful to have some portable way for all users who check out my
source to have this path point to the correct jre on their own machines.

It would also be useful for the jdk/include directory to be similarly included with the headers.
