### Description Originally https://bz.apache.org/netbeans/show_bug.cgi?id=116185 Component: freeform Minor enhancement to an excellent freeform project (for external ant scripts). The classpath takes folders for .classes but requires full name for .jar files (since .jar files are folders themselves). Most software releases these days are putting version numbers as part of the .jar file names (e.g. javolution-5.2.3.jar). Any updates to these softwares gets .jar files renamed requiring update to project.xml. I would like to suggest accepting folders containing .jar files in classpath and expanding it for use automatically on netbeans. ### Use case/motivation See https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/ide/nbproject/update-netbeans-classpaths.sh This script only exists because of the lack of this improvement. ### Related issues https://bz.apache.org/netbeans/show_bug.cgi?id=116185 ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
