Change destination folder of JAR files in Netbeans 7

I'm working on a multiproject solution for a client and we're trying to have all our builds automatically go into a predetermined BIN folder. All the C++ projects were easily enough moved over but the Java side has proven not so easily configured. When I go to the project's properties and go to Build->Packaging the "JAR File:" text box shows a read-only text-box pointing to "dist/App.jar" (which I would like to change to "../../../bin/App.jar". Any thoughts on how to do this?

add into build.xml

<target name="-post-jar">
    <copy file="${dist.jar}" todir="drive\path\"/>
</target>

Did you check under the menu

[Run] --> [Set project configuration] --> [Customize]
You have plenty of options to change there, it is easy than that.

Good luck

You can change the dist-folder by editing the dist.dir key in the project.propertiesfile which is located in the nbproject directory from

dist.dir=dist

to

dist.dir=../../../bin

In my case the key is in line 24. The name of the jar-file itself is determined by the dist.jar key, if you would need to rename the file aswell.
