Hello. I will try to help you.
I think for your project you use "Java with Ant" template Figure 1 and your project has icon If you want to copy libraries to lib subfolder of dist folder you need to select "Copy Dependent Libraries" in project properties panel, look to Figure 2 Figure 1 Figure 2 From: Gene Glick <ggl...@aps-tech.com> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 11:20 PM To: users@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Build does not include dependent libs Hi. Netbeans 12.0 Java OpenJDK 14.0.1 64-bit Windows 10. My project runs fine in the IDE, but the packaged up jar file is not okay. The directory "dist" is missing the dependent libraries. Further, when I run java -jar myProgram.jar it responds with: no main manifest attribute Sure enough, the jar has no manifest. This project began life in the Sun/Oracle Netbeans days, and builds just fine in Netbeans 7.2. I have finally bit the bullet and converted it over to the newer style. But - something is clearly wrong with the build. I have already check in the properties and the build tab, and the checkbox for "copy dependent libraries" is checked. Any ideas what is wrong here? gene
