Any Netbeans users out there?

[Rob Sang via JavaKB.com]

I was wondering if anyone here might know how the get Netbeans to pick up
J2EE packages so that it stops putting those annoying red squiggly lines
under every line I write that uses a J2EE class? It keeps trying to
"helpfully" delete all my imports from javax.servlet.* packages.

I know, this isn't a proper Java question, but it's just bugging me sooo
much.

Which version are you using?

Basically you will need to add the J2EE libraries (servlet.jar) to your
classpath inside NetBeans. With 3.6 add a library to the classpath is done using
the "Mount library" feature, with 4.0 you have to add the jar file to your
project definition (Project Properties -> Build -> Compiling Sources -> Add
JAR/Folder)

Thanks for that. I was poking around in the "Library Manager" before that.
What on earth is the Library Manager for if it's not for adding libs to
projects?

You can combine several .jar files into one "Library", and then simply add the
"Library" to your project. Useful for .jar files that you use very often.

If you store your J2EE jars in a central place you can also create a J2EE
library. I think that if you update the library definition then the classpath
for all projects referencing the library will be updated as well.
