I'm using Netbeans 6.9 , and I have looked into editing the build.xml file so that I can include directories and files in the jar file that results from building the project.
So my question is How do I modify the build.xml file to put other folders in the jar?
I have the following directory structure for my project
ProjectDir/
/images/
/src/com/...
/lib/
and so on..
And I want the jar file built by the ant build script to look like
project.jar
/com
/lib
--this should include the jar files inside the lib folder
/images
--this should include the jpg files
/META-INF
I need to do this because I "install" the jar file into Adobe Livecycle as a custom component and all of the lib jar files and images need to be included in the jar.
Also if there is a way to do this without using the build.xml file that would be fine also, currently I'm just copy the folders/files into the jar file.
