title: How do I add shareable libraries in Netbeans?
body: <p>In NetBeans (currrently using 7.3), there's a nice feature to add libraries using the Ant Library Manager.  I'm able to add the jar file of the class files, jar file for the source files, and a zipped file of Javadoc files. It works very nicely on my workstation.  </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that these Ant Libraries don't seem to be distributable.  How can I get these same libraries onto my laptop without painstakingly reviewing each library to see what is in it, download the jar/zip files, and re-define the library on my laptop (or anyone else working on the same project)?  A couple features of the library I want to retain is that I can include the Javadocs for quick API documentation and source code for debugging. </p>
  
  <p>I'd like to put these Ant Libraries in <strike>Subversion</strike> Git so that someone else who wants to work with the project can also download all the other library dependencies without having to build identical libraries.  For example, I create a U2JPA library that has a specific version of U2JPA, a nightly build of OpenJPA, and a few other jars.  </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, Maven isn't an option in my current project because the vendor is not willing to commit the binaries to the Central Repository. </p>
