If a project is setup to depend on another existing project a problem occurs if the dist.jar setting for the project that it depends on is changed. The properties dialog under the compile time settings shows missing project and the project fails to build due to the class path not being correct. Shouldn't the ant script in the project be updated to reflect the change in the project it depends on ? I'm struggling with this problem becuase the sub project I have use the project version number as part of the jar naming strategy. When this rename occurs any projects that depend on it fail to build afterwards. Is there anyway in netbeans of setting up a project dependancy but not explicitly setting the jar file but instead the directory the jar can be found in ?
Re-assigning to 'ide' module.
What type of project do you use?
Sorry, each referring project keeps the actual JAR name. I would perhaps recommend leaving ${dist.jar} alone and making a separate Ant target to publish all your JARs with corrected names.
Probably lower priority in 6.5 since Compile on Save projects should be ignoring dist/*.jar for purposes of dependencies. Haven't checked though.
