Some of you thought why there is a folder "Test Packages" in netbeans. There is a special thought for providing Test Packages folder in project. This will help you only if you are developing some API or say class for general use in team or company or say you are free lancer. Check the my javaQuery API's project structure in image.

You'll see there is so many classes in "Source Packages" folder. and APITest.java in "Test Packages" folder. This is how my javaQuery API. I test each code before publishing the API. "Test Packages" helps me to run my "Source Packages" code. When you create the .jar file using netbeans. It won't let include "Test Packages" class in final .jar file.
