Hi Lukas,

I have problems to agree with you (see attached screenshots).
- most subfolders in WTK2.5.2\apps in the original have much different
size than in NB's edtition.
- All folders of WTK2.5.2\apps are copied to WTK2.5.2\apps\i18nDemo. Is
this necessary to run it in NetBeans
- Most jar's in bin, lib, and wtklib are a little bigger in the
original, than in NB's although they might don't include japanese/chinese.

Do you understand my question now:
Can I copy/overwrite the additional/different files from the netbeans
bundle to the originals folder?

Regards,

Ulf
