how to export a netbeans 6.9.1 project ?

[robertburkhalter]

hi. is there a procedure for exporting a project in netbeans ? or some menu option ?

the idea is to export it so that someone on another machine running netbeans 6.9.1 could do something to "import" it.

thank you.

You should just be able to zip up the project folder and give it to
someone else, who would decompress it and open it. The only issue I can
think of is if you have dependencies on libraries you have created
(Tools / Libraries from the main menu) and the other person either
doesn't have the libraries or the file naming conventions aren't the
same because of a different operating system.

Of course, the best option would be to store the project in a revision
control system...

You have a project on a local machine "yourPC", stored on "localDISK"

Maybe you can store "yourProjct" on a "sharedDISK", or "yourMemoryStick", then give it to others.

but sometimes and for some artifacts/project types, NB does not like this approach. So be carful with this approach.

A more professional way when others are connected to a network:

You could download i.e. a subversion server and setup your own code/project repository.

Then you commit your project using svn from NetBeans into your own subversion repository

Then you communicate the svn download link to others and

The orthers can use subversion client or svn from netBeans to checkout a versioned working copy and use NetBeans to work on the same project.

After they did changes to the code they could commit theire changes. Etc. etc.

Committing code to subversion repositories is can at first be done outside from netbeans, but later svn is fully integrated into netbeans.

That's a good answer, and one I'm also looking for. What's a good revision control system to use with Netbeans?
