Thanks guys. I'm old and retired and have used Netbeans with ant since
version 5.0. I still maintain a couple of charity applications for them
so this is important. Suddenly it stops including the lib directory. I
have tried adding the lib directory to the dist directory but still
nothing. The jar file just goes to lunch. Something about compiling or
building the executable doesn't seem to recognize the libraries.
To solve a problem for a food pantry (charity project) I had to revert
to an older version of Linux on a questionable disk where Netbeans 8.1
with Java 1.8 still works. I don't see that as a long term solution
though as the disk is too undependable.
A few weeks ago I thought I saw a related reference here but failed to
save it as I didn't know I had a problem at the time. Can anyone recall
that or explain it again please?

I do something similar and then package up everything as a zip file or
tar.gz with the assembly plugin.
Something like this:
<!-- this is an old project. use updated plugin versions
or better yet, pluginManagement -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And the assembly.xml file (leaving out the schema for brevity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assembly>
<id>bin</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<includeSiteDirectory>false</includeSiteDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.jar</include>
<include>lib/</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
Then, mvn package followed by mvn assembly:single gives me a tar.gz and
a zip file containing the correct structure. I can ship that around,
unpack it, and run the program from the command line with:
java -jar ./jarname.jar
Works for me.
. . . just my two cents

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?
