Hello,
I have a big project under Netbeans, actually more than 730 classes. Up
today, I have made compiled my project into a standart Java application. I
need now to make the Applet version of my application (it is a game
creator's runtime, we need the games to run as standart java app, and on the
web)(and later on J2ME). But today I am concentrating on Applets.
Is there a way in Netbeans, to include sources that do not belong to the
project directory? Only a few sources will change between the standart
project and the applet project, and I would not like to keep two sets of
sourcecode for maintenance. So if there was a way to import them from
another project without copying them, this would be fantastic.
Thanks!

Ever heard of Java web start?

Have you considered using Java Web Start to distribute your standard app?

it is a lot easier to turn an Applet into an Application than the
reverse.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/applet.html
for how to do it. Nearly every Applet I have written is a hybrid
application/Applet.

this sounds on the fat side for an Applet. Perhaps what you really
want in a Java Web Start which you can trigger by a click on a web
page, but which runs independently. You can also shut down the
browser to give all the RAM to the app.

* The download can be further optimised using 'lazy' downloads,
and even further using the JNLP API's DownloadService
<http://www.physci.org/jws/#ds>
JWS also allows you to share common files across
different applications efficiently, using component extensions
<http://www.physci.org/jws/#giffer>
** Web start can also request extra memory in the
JNLP launch file, if needed.
