Jruby project organizatiion libraries. Not Rails-related.

Hi All,

Thanks in advance for reading about my confusion.  I think I must be
missing something basic.  I've been building my apps with emacs/rake,
and am trying to use NetBeans 6.5.

I've got a set of six or so little JRuby applications (app0 ... appn) that share a
library (lib).  I can't figure out how to setup up the projects in
NetBeans 6.5.

My current svn layout looks something like:

all-projects
 - app0
 - - src
 - - - ruby/*.rb
 - lib
 - - src
 - - - ruby/*.rb
- app1
...





So .. I can create the "app0" project with its ruby source, but I
can't seem to figure out how to tell the project about the "lib"
directory.  A Java project has the notion of requiring another
project, but I can't seem to find the similar notion in a Ruby
project.  

I can add ".../lib/src/ruby" to the source path for "app0" and do OK
until I try to create the "app1" project.  When I try to add the same
directory to *its* source path, NetBeans refuses to do so, complaining
that it's already on another project's source path.

I geel sure I'm missing something really basic, as this can't be an
unusual thing to want to do, can it?

Once again, thanks for any help you can offer.  I'd be overjoyed at a
response of, "You Idiot!!  All you have to do is ...."

Cheers,
--Bob

Hi Bob,

Sorry for replying so late, I somehow missed this. Please see inline.

Unfortunately this is indeed not supported for Ruby projects, but feel
free to file an issue for it. See below first though...

I guess it depends on what is you exact use case, but wouldn't just
adding the "../lib/src/ruby" to the load path for all the projects that
depend on it suffice? E.g. in the app_x projects, add -I/path/to/lib to
the Ruby options field in Project Properties -> Run.

HTH,
Erno
