Hello, Often I change projects between my desktop pc and my nootebook. On both pc the projects, the netbeans folder and the extenal frameworks (jar etc) are in the same folders but on different drives. If I copy the project, the links to the libraries are broken, because the linsk have absolute path. But there were different. Solution is to store the links to the libraries as relative path. I can change the path to relative only in the project.properties file. But this is not the way. To use a CVS is obsolete, because the project.properties file must also check in. Make a radiobutton in the dialog so that the user can choose the to store the data Christian
And what about shared libraries? While creating a project in "Project" wizard there is "Using Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries" checkbox in 2nd step. Then just copy required libraries into "<lib>" folder and while adding them for project via "Project Properties" use relative option.
That is a solution, but not very good. With this solution all libraries where copy phyisicaly to the project. This is not good. If an update of one or more libraires is possible, all updatet libraries must copy into all projects. A central management of 3party frameworks is not possible.
well, i think that sharable libraries is the best solution. I do not understand why upgrading of one library means to upgrade library of all projects - if you create libraries folder in e.g. C:\Libraries on your PC and Notebook, you can import there all necessary library jars and *all* projects and utilize this one library storage.
AFAICT there is nothing to be fixed, it can be solved by sharable libraries.
