I integrated Apache Ivy into my build so that I can add dependencies and they are automatically included in my built web app.

This works fine and the appropriate jar's are placed in the build/web/WEB-INF/lib folder when I build my web app.

However, when working in my IDE (Netbeans), it is unaware of the imported libraries (they are only placed in the build folder once I build the web app). So it is filled with a bunch of errors since it doesn't recognize any code involving the dependencies imported by Ivy.

This is my ivy.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0">
    <info organisation="some.org" module="some.mod"/>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency org="com.github.dfabulich" name="sitemapgen4j" rev="1.0.6"/>
        </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

Is there a way to make Netbeans aware of dependencies imported by Ivy?

Or, do I have to run a "build" at least once and then simply manually include the desired libraries (ie: right clicking libraries -> clicking add jar/folder) by referencing the appropriate jars in the build folder?

I would think Ivy/Netbeans could automate this so that I don't have to manually include the jars that are included in the dependencies.

Thanks.

try this http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqIvy

But i recommend you to use gradle as build and dependency manager instead of ant.
