In your project properties, add "copy depedent librairies"(under "Build"->"Packaging"):

-> https://i.sstatic.net/REP9o.png

Then, when you build your project, Netbeans will include the lib in a folder called "lib".

What usually I do is, Just giving clean and build and in netbeans_project_directory/dist folder will be having all necessary things, such as executable jar and lib, you can create a bat file to execute the jar.

I believe this link should help you with this issue : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/single-jar-141905.html

This will package every dependent library (*.jar) into one single Project.jar.

Another solution is to use something such as Apache Maven with NetBeans : http://wiki.netbeans.org/Maven

You have to use ant, maven or gradle for this things. If you use Eclipse IDE it has own default ant so simply go with right click on project and export to JAR file.
