Hello, I'm developping a software with the sources provided along with the binaries. This is intended to replace a Visual Basic macro file. Thus I do need to have the source with the binaries. I put my own manifest.mf file in the root folder fo the project. In my manifest.mf file, I specify the main class and the class path. However, Netbeans is still copying all my libraries, thus increasing the space used on my company files share. Could we have a check box in the project properties like: "don't copy libraries"
The only trick I had to use is put the following tasks in my build.xml file: --- <target name="-post-jar" depends="javadoc"> <!-- cleanup for avoiding to copy useless files on the share --> <delete dir="${dist.dir}/lib" /> <delete dir="${dist.dir}/README.TXT" /> <delete dir="${build.dir}" /> </target> ---
Reassigning to "projects".
You can use the workaround above, but I agree that there there should an option or at least a property disabling libraries copy. I will put the property there for now.
