I hope it may help. I have the source of an old swing project using jxI.jar. Opening it in NB12, jxl.jar was not found. I take a copy of jxl.jar and put it in the folder project (not the source).
In Librairies - Properties, I removed jxl.jar and consequently the older link to it. Using Add JAR/Folder..., I selected the new location of jxl.jar (creating a new link) The project now finds the jxl file. All compiling errors are for Swing missing, not for jxl.
