Create a netbeans project from an external application

I have written a Java application which generates simple java source files. Now I want to add a functionality to save those files as a Netbeans 7 project. I have seen in Netbeans projects, there are some Netbeans related files in a folder called nbproject.
So what are those compulsory files, which should be in a Netbeans project?
Is there any Netbeans library, which we too can use to generate those files?

Simply I want to do this:

  1. I have some java source files.
  2. I want to add Netbeans related file(s)
  3. So now this should be a Netbeans project

Method 1: You write your own NetBeans Module for your tasks

Method 2: You create the files with your own program

Method 3: You create a project and reuse its files (most of them are based on Freemarker templates)

Method 4: You create your own templates (eg. with Freemarker) and fill them with your programms

if you don't like #1, you may try a combination of #3 and #4: open generated files and replace all values like projectname, paths etc. which aren't variables yet with your own variables --> use them as Template
