Description navneet 2005-12-06 08:57:56 UTC 
Here is what I am trying to do:

1. Develop a library to interact with a custom backend. This library today
comprises of multiple other jar files since there are dependencies on jdom, etc
2. Develop a front-end that will act as the UI for this library

I also want to debug the code in the library when I am debugging the front end.

When I try to create a project using the netbeans new project wizard, it does
not allow me to add a dependency to a Java Class Library Project. And hence,
when I try to set a break point, that does not work either.

So your are trying to do a NetBeans module project using an external library?
You should probably use Library Wrapper module, please see:
