How can I include external jar on my Netbeans project

Question

When I run \"clean and build\" the .jar file that is being created only runs if the lib folder is at the same folder of the .jar file.

Answer 1

Try this - in the Netbeans IDE:

1. Go to Tools --> Libraries
2. In the dialog box, on the bottom left click "New Library", give a name
3. On the right side, click on "Add JAR/Folder"
4. Click OK on the bottom right
5. Re-start the IDE and check.
