This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
If you "build" a project then it creates a jar file with a lib/ folder in dist/. How about an option which squeezes all jar files into one (like fatjar in eclipse)? I suggest to do it with a checkbox, so you have the choice. For now I have a bash script doing this an I think it would be simple to implement this in netbeans.
Created attachment 64950 [details] bash fatjar script
Yes, it's possible. As far as I remember there was already a discussion about it. It's late to do it into NB 6.5 since the features are already frozen only bug fixes can be integrated. Setting the target milestone to next release.
I come back to my previous issue but with an addition: My experience has shown that (in my case) sometimes it is a very good idea to include the source code into the jar. I had several occasions where I had a jar file with a bug but no chance to find the right source again (I am in research, so this happens...) So by adding a "fatjar" switch it would be nice (at least for me and some of my colleagues) to have also a "include source" switch... many thanks.
