Vocabulary

I have been trying to find out just what a NetBeans project is. I have discovered that all code in a project has to be complied with the same source target. There is only one jar generated per project. So it looks like you need a project per jar/executable even if a package generates 10 related executables. There must be some way around this. I suspect typically a project is intended to be one or two packages.
