Let's say I want to create a new project called MyProj. When you first create the proj, JBuilder wants to put the project file (.jpx) in a directory called MyProj under my root JBuilder dir. It then wants to put the source for this project under MyProj/src. So, if I'm using packages, my source ends up being in dirs like this: C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/MyProj/src/com/mycompany/appspecific/ C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/MyProj/src/com/mycompany/common/ The thing I don't get about this, is that if I want to use certain packages on many different projects, I'd have to copy the packages to every project. The way I got around this is that I put all my project files in C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/ (one level up from what JBuilder defaults to), so the source root for every project is C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/src. This means that I can reference shared packages the same way in any project (in a dir like C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/src/com/mycompany/common). In other words, if you look at my dir structure for all my jbuilder apps, it looks like this: C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/src/com/mycompany/app1specific/ C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/src/com/mycompany/app2specific/ C:/Documents and Settings/me/jbproject/src/com/mycompany/common/ Do you get what I'm saying? Is this what everyone does? What am I missing? Thanks.

Is this what everyone does? What am I missing? Thanks. Steve That's why we make *libraries*. Make a project for the code that is shared between projects (com.mycompany.common). If you are using JB Enterprise, you can select that library project as a required library for any other project. If you are using JB Foundation or Developer, you can create a library in any project to point to the classes (output) directory of your library project. Don't point at jars being generated by your library project, because you'll run into problems. -- Regards, Lori Olson [TeamB] ------------ Save yourself, and everyone else, some time and search the newsgroups and the FAQ-O-Matic before posting your next question.
