Hello again Dave, Sorry to hear you are still running into problems with Netbeans but this one does sound like it might be a simple fix; famous last words?
I think that you need to check and modify your project properties. To do this in 'my' version of Netbeans - I am currently using 6.5.1 - you need to do the following; Open Netbeans. Open the project. Click on 'Run' and from the drop down menu select the 'Set Project Configuration' option. This will open another sub-menu on which there are two choices. The first is will be something like '<default config>' and the second will be 'Customize'. Select the 'Customize' option and this will open up the 'Project Properties' screen for you. Look into the left hand pane that will be headed 'Categories' and select the 'Packaging' option. If this option does not show up then it is likely hidden under the 'Build' option in the tree amd you can expand that by clicking on the plus sign that will be to the left of the word 'Build'. Once you have selected 'Packaging', you should see over in the right hand portion of the screen a selection box that says something like 'Build JAR After Compiling'. Make sure that this option is selected and then OK your way out. With luck, when you choose either to 'Build the Project' or 'Clean and Build the Project' from the 'Run' menu again, the distribution should be built for you.
