Removing a Component Library

See Also

If you previously added a component library containing a set of JavaServer Faces components that were provided by a component vendor, this topic tells you how you can remove references to the library from a project or delete the component library altogether.

The Component Library Manager has a Remove button that removes a component library from the .netbeans directory and removes all its components from the palette. However, this action does not remove any component libraries that are embedded in projects.

To remove the component library from a project:

  1. Open the project-name node in the
  2. If your project is using component from the library, remove those components from your project's pages before removing the library.
  3. Open the Component Libraries node and right-click the library you want to remove, and then choose Remove.
  4. You see a message warning that removing the library can cause errors in your projects. If you are using no components from the library in your project, click OK to remove the library.

To delete a component library from the IDE:

  1. Choose Tools > Component Libraries.
  2. In the Component Library Manager, select the library you want to delete and click the Remove button at the bottom of the window.
  3. Confirm that you want to delete the library.

    The library is removed from your user directory. Any projects that use the library can continue to do so because they have their own copy of the library in the project directory.
