thank you ollins :) is there any way to change that folder icon?
NetBeans 8.0
You can copy complete packages including sub-packages to the projects /src/-folder.
Then Source » Scan for External Changes and the new sources will be added automatically.
Have fun.

You can attach a source JAR. You also can use the Import Sources module ("File -> Import Sources") to import source files from the file system.

I had a similar problem where I added files directly to the project path from a file manager and NetBeans did not show them in my project tree.
I found a good solution for my needs using git. As it is good practice to use a repository for code tracking code changes and I will be doing it regardless. Anyway my resolution to the issue is:
Check the "Diff to HEAD" on the main project folder from within the NetBeans interface and the new files are now found...While your there double check your changes and commit.
