Transferring a WHOLE netbeans GUI project


Alright, so for a homework assignment I had to make a simple application with java swing. I used the netbeans GUI builder to do it and it works fine. However, when I zip up the entire folder (Documents\NetBeansProjects\Lesson 7) my professor complains that he doesn't have all the files. What other files could there be? I'm zipping up the whole folder that includes build, nbproject, src, test, build.xml, and manifest.mf. Is there anything else I need to zip up, or is my professor doing something wrong?


Solution

  • Netbeans GUI Designer uses the:

    Swing Application Framework (JSR-296)

    Netbeans keeps those separate as libraries (see the Libraries Item in the Projects view of Netbeans). Netbeans Libraries can be viewed under:

    Tools --> Libraries

    In order to run your application, you will need to supply the 'appframework' and 'swing-worker' jar files so that they can be added to the classpath in order to run the application.
