Sharing source between two Netbeans projects

Question

I have an existing Java project in Netbeans (a JSF web application). I'd like to experiment with GWT in a separate project - put pull in source from the original project. Is there any way to share source between two Netbeans projects.

When I attempt to add the source directory from the original project into the new the IDE complains that the source is already part of another project.

Answer 1

If you're only experimenting then copy the necessary part of the existing project to a different directory. Of course changes won't be synchronized later.

If you'd like to keep both projects alive then create a separate project with the common code, and use it as a library.
