   To summarize the outcomes of my dialog with the robot:
   1. The problem arises in an Ant project.
   2. Project -> Properties -> Libraries -> Compile -> Add Project... This does 
not add the project, but its JAR. The effect is the same as "Add JAR/Folder".
   3. The robot directed me to make some modifications in build.xml and in 
nbproject/project.properties. 
   4. With the above changes, the error flag  remains in ProjectB.ClassB1. That 
is, in the margin of the codeagainst " import packageA"  there is a red dot and 
the message "package packageA does not exists".
   5. The error continues to show up when the code is run within Netbeans, i.e. 
     Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable code - 
package packageA does not exist
        at packageB.ClassB1.main(ClassB1.java:1)
   6. BUT when the code is run from the command line in ../ProjectB/dist, it 
runs without error:
   ...\ProjectB\dist>java -jar ProjectB.jar
   PackageB.ClassB1: main, instantiating ClassA1
   PackageA.ClassA1: constructor
   PackageB.ClassB1: done
   7. This discrepancy indicates that the source of the problem lies within 
Netbeans. 
   
   I have also tried other things such as restarting Netbeans and deleting the 
cache. The robot suggests I convert to Maven or use another IDE. Both involve s 
lot more work for me. More generally, Netbeans is not working as advertised, in 
a pretty basic area of functionality. So I suggest that the bug(s) be 
corrected..
