Description kitfox 2014-03-06 23:37:12 UTC 
I have a set of projects which need to be built in a certain order. One of them is a freeform project - I decided to make it freeform because it needs to run a lot of customized ant plugins in order to generate code. This project depends on another regular ClassLibrary project so whenever I do a Clean Build, it would be nice to force this other project to build before NetBeans tries to build my freeform. Is there a way I can do this?

I've edited the freeform project's Java Sources Classpath to include the path to the jar that is generated by the project I want to depend on, but this is not helping.

you have to set this up by yourself 
maybe this helps a bit - https://netbeans.org/kb/articles/freeform-config.html
