Plz, upgrade that NBAndroid can include others general java projects.

Issue #2 wontfix
AndroidSpace created an issue

Dear developers.

NBAndroid is a good plugin for Android development.

I wish that Android project can include others general java projects of NetBeans.

If a Android project must have many general java project's jar and it's library jars, general java project's refactoring is very hard work for developers.

This is very very important to upgrade productivity for Android project.

Thanks a lot.

    At the moment there is no plan to add this support to Ant based Android projects. It would make it incompatible with pure command line Android projects (http://developer.android.com/tools/projects/projects-cmdline.html).

    The second reason is that these Ant projects will be deprecated in the future and Android tools will migrate to Gradle based projects - http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system Good news is that we have an early release and dependency of an Android project on a Java library works there. Some additional info can be found at http://nbandroid.org/wiki/index.php/Gradle

    I can explain the motivation later on blog. Simply said it is a lot of work to make the change for Ant projects that does not have enough priority (Gradle, GUI layouts, other simpler features)

    Dear Radim Kubacki

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am happy that NBAndroid will work with the Gradle build system to support on Java project of NetBeans.

    I anticipate that time.

    Thank you so much for your efforts.
