Description

Attached example of a very simple suite (issuesuite) with two modules (modulea and moduleb): both depend on Apache commons-lang library and in the cluster folder produced by nbm:cluster from the suite this is the folder structure:

• issuesuite
  • target
    • netbeans_clusters
      • issuesuite
        • modules
          • ext
            • org.example.modulea
              • commons-lang
                • commons-lang.jar <<<
            • org.example.moduleb
              • commons-lang
                • commons-lang.jar <<<

It ended up packaging twice the commons-lang.jar library.
I have many external library dependencies, if this is the behavior, I will end up with a LOT of redundant files...

How to fix this? Or is it the intended behavior?
Thanks!
