NetBeans 6.5 – failed to create task or type copyfiles

Just upgraded to NetBeans 6.5 and encountered the following error when I tried to build my project: “Problem: failed to create task or type copyfiles”. Not much detail in that message, and I hate having to delve into the generated ant scripts. Turns out that I was missing “org-netbeans-modules-java-j2seproject-copylibtask.jar” from my ./lib/CopyLibs folder. Tossed it back in there from a new project and I was back in business!

    One thing that worked for me was to revert back to nb6.1. I need to be able to build nb project w/o nb. 6.5 game this odd error and it worked fine w/ 6.1′s build-impl.xml.
