title: How to save as a stand-alone project in NetBeans?
body: <p>I'm referring to NetBeans only (I'm using 7.4):</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to save the current project (someone's working on) as a new <em>stand-alone</em> project for backup purposes?
  I want to be able to take the newly saved project on a USB drive and work on another PC and to have multiple projects to choose from, to load on the stick.</p>
  
  <p>I tried right clicking on the project in projects pane and copy. It went fine except for it didn't copy the entire project folder and most of all -- it had the external library dependencies messed up and had to manually copy them into the new project folder and link to each of them.<br>
  I also tried exporting the project as zip and it behaves the same.<br>
  I don't want to have my project on the web -- that's why I didn't go with repositories.<br>
  I also read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19375044/convert-netbeans-project-with-embedded-databases-to-a-stand-alone-java-program">Convert netbeans project with embedded databases to a stand alone java program</a> but this implies that all files are error free.</p>
