I ran the sample Hello World program that is included in NetBeans IDE 6.1 (Build 200805300101) on Win 2000, SP4 and noticed possible errors in file: HelloWorldApp\dist\README.TXT It seems that the file contains some errors having to do with the directory structure and where files are located. There is no dist\lib folder, instead, the manifest file is located in the root folder: HelloWorldApp\manifest.mf If this is an error, it also makes the distribution directions incorrect.
The file's information is correct. There is no dist/lib folder in your project because there are no libraries on the HelloWorld app's classpath. Also, nowhere does it say that the manifest is in dist/lib. Nonetheless, we can look at this to see if there is some way to make the information clearer and follow better. We should touch the file anyway because there is already a typo (missing apostrophe in "projects"). Ken, can you take a look at this one? After changing the text, we will need to reassign to projects/java to get it implemented
marking as wontfix because this refers to a quite old version of the IDE and this sample is no longer included in the IDE.
