How to build with module path in Netbeans

Question

Currently when I build my Java programs in Netbeans it asks for a classpath and wants to build with a classpath. However, keeping with the growing modular focus of Java 9+ I would rather compile with a module path.

I would run the command javac ... --module-path *.java but have complex dependencies and so would prefer to build it in Netbeans if there is that option available?

Answer 1

• Select your project in the Projects panel
• Right click and select Properties from the context menu.
• Select Libraries from the list of Categories
• Click the various tabs (Compile, Run, etc...) to set ModulePath as required.
