According to the comments on the NetBeans forum a workaround is
(without manually editing build files):
Create a sub main in one of your library classes:
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.err.println("This is a plugin for <YourApplication> and
cannot be run as a standalone application");
}
and then go to project properties (right mouse-button on the project,
then properties) -> run -> Main Class: There should be the option to
select the class where you added the main method (if not, the file is
maybe not yet saved ;-) ).
Then the build process re-creates the lib path and contents.
Thinking about this I start to like it that way. Indeed there are some
libraries where I don't need the lib path to be generated because I
use them only within my projects and there the lib path is anyway
created. For the plugins where they are distributable programs I can
do it the way described above and at the same time I have some
information output for those who try to run it standalone.
