如何在Netbeans本机包装中为Java SE应用程序添加其他文件/文件夹

Question

I am trying to make an EXE installer of my Java Swing application following instructions found here: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/native_pkg.html

my dist folder structure is like this :

-> dist
   -> lib
   -> application.jar
   -> config folder //additional folder
   -> another additional folder //additional folder

Those two additional folder listed above gets ignored after deploying native packaging. I want to add those two inside /app folder and keep the folder structure like below:

-> app
   -> lib
   -> config folder //additional folder
   -> another additional folder //additional folder
   -> application.jar
   -> package.cfg
-> runtime
   -> jre
-> applcation.exe
-> application.ico
-> unins000.dat
-> unins000.exe

I am using ant builder and inno setup for the purpose.

After trying for last few hours I decided to post it here for help. Anything towards the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you uses an iss script to build your installer, you can just add a new line to the script like this in the Files section:

[Files]
Source: "config\*"; DestDir: "{app}\config"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
Source: "additional\*"; DestDir: "{app}\additional"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs

This should exist in the Netbeans native packaging as well. It seems to me that the sources tab might have the same effect.

Or you can try this approach , but this still requires work outside netbeans.
