I'm developing a library (fpotencia) wich I use from a GUI program (fpotenciaui).
The library uses the commons math library.
When I run the GUI program I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/math3/complex/Complex

I have read in here that this is due to the presence of the library at design time but not at run time.
I have also read here that I need to include the library commons-logging.jar from here, which I have done for both the libary and the UI projects.
I would like to be able to include whatever I need from Netbeans since when I share the code with others I do not want them to have to do things like including libraries in the path. I am electrical engineer and I find very messy having to do such things "manually", besides, why is Netbeans for if I have to include libraries in the path from the command line?
So my question is, why does Netbeans not sort this problem out if I am clearly including the library in the project?
PS: maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem, if so, I'd appreciate some guidance to get this solved. Thanks.
Ok, so basically I found out that (at least in Netbeans) when you create a library that has dependencies, those dependencies have to be included in whatever other project that you want to use the library you've made.
