I recently made some updates to my NetBeans development environment and encountered this weird error:
[code]
d:\dev\myproject\nbproject\build-impl.xml:485: The libs.CopyLibs.classpath property is not set up.
This property must point to
org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar file which is part
of NetBeans IDE installation and is usually located at
/java/ant/extra folder.
Either open the project in the IDE and make sure CopyLibs library
exists or setup the property manually. For example like this:
ant -Dlibs.CopyLibs.classpath=a/path/to/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)
[/code]
I was able to resolve it by following these steps:
- In NetBeans, select Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Ant
- In the Properties section, add the following property
[code]
libs.CopyLibs.classpath=pathtoyour_netbeans/java/ant/extra/org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibstask.jar
[/code]
Click OK and Build your project again. This error will go away. Hope this helps. Happy coding!
Thanks. This works.

In Netbeans 7.2 the Ant is at Tools > Options > Java 😉

Hi Rajesh,
The steps above work for NetBeans 7.3 on MS Windows.
What version of NetBeans are you using? Also, what OS?
There is already something mentioned in the property as “build.compiler.emacs=true”.. should I delete this? or copy in the next line?
wow, thanks man
Thanks man!!!! Amazing
Thanks man!!!! Amazing godbless
