Sharable Libraries comments
I only use the new feature to attach sources and Javadoc to a project jar, but that is very nice
Please note that this comment is based on a nightly, not RC1, the issue might have been fixed in RC1. Sometimes the "shareable libraries" folder is outside the "root" project folder (i.e. NetBeansProjects/myproject). When copying the project somewhere else (for example, a thumb drive for backup), the "lib" folder doesn't go with it and the project will not compile when opened from a new location. It is necessary to copy the lib folder by hand to the new location to be able to compile the project. It would be nice if the "shareable libraries" would be placed inside the root project folder.
Fantastic !
I just haven't had the time to integrate this new feature with my current projects which I'm sure could make use of it.
Works a dream :) :) :)
that is cool it takes a load off me having to manage then my self
There's just some usability issues. I need to look at them better to make sure I understand them all before commenting, but I think is OK for a first release of the feature. One thing I have seen is it seems like we should be able to link to project references without having to use one single set of library definitions. i.e. I don't want to have 100 references referenced in all projects for libraries. I would rather be able to point to a library defined in one shared libraries descriptor and have the IDE pick this up at once without me having to define the thing over and over again, so in other words I set it up in one projects libraries, and then can somehow quickly reference it from another project without having to share all the same dependencies.
