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.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Project Properties for a Java Class Library Project (or a Java Application or Java Web Application). 2. Select the Libraries section. 3. Select the Compile tab. 4. Click the "Add Project..." button. 5. Navigate to a Maven project and select it. 6. Click the "Add Project JAR Files" button. Expected result: The Maven Project's .jar file in [mavenProjectPath]/target will be added as a dependency. Actual result: The Add Project dialog closed and nothing happened. Comments: Considering a .jar file exists in [mavenProjectPath]/target for Maven projects, it seems like this should be possible. When I select a Maven project in the Add Project dialog, it correctly displays the project name on the side, but it does not find this .jar file. I would also expect the "Build Projects on Classpath" setting to apply as well, so the Maven project builds when I build the dependent project.
not a defect, the ant and maven projects intermixing is not supported. It doesn't work the other way either. the only thing that could be considered a bug is that the ant projects allow selecting a maven project. reassigning
