Description jfurmankiewicz 2006-09-15 16:32:11 UTC 
Very common requirement for any dev-oriented plugin, it seems to be quite
complicate to do it.

Would be great to have a wizard that would just prompt you for a name, list of
JARs on the local filesystem, package them into a module and upon deployment
automatically install it under Tools -> Libraries.

Typical usage would be when developing a module to add support for a different
web framework.

There already exists wizard for creating j2se libraries in templates:
New|NetBeans Module Development|J2SE library descriptor.

If you are interested in development support for web module development look at
