Hi Bayless,
Are you using an Ant build or Maven? If Maven, have a look at
"maven-jar-plugin" and "maven-dependency-plugin". Here is an example of
both from one of my projects:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>libs/</classpathPrefix> <<=== Important
<mainClass>org.markdownj.cli.Main</mainClass>
<addBuildEnvironmentEntries>true</addBuildEnvironmentEntries>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includeScope>runtime</includeScope>
<excludeScope>test</excludeScope>
<outputDirectory>
${project.build.directory}/libs
<<=== Important
</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Of course, the "<<=== Important" text is not part of the POM text.
All you need to do then is copy the 'libs' directory to the same
directory you install the 'jar' file to, and then it should work a
charm. Does for me.

I recently upgraded from Netbeans 8.1 to 11.1 and due to problems
with java 8 I also went to 11. I have been working on some existing
projects and everything works fine from within Netbeans. When I try to
deploy though, it seems that Netbeans is no longer including the lib
directory in the dist directory and the programs will not run. Even
when I just replace the jar file in the dist directory, leaving the
lib directory as it was, the programs still will not run. What do I
need to do to correct this situation?
