You open the Module Project Properties dialog box by right-clicking a module project and choosing Properties.

The Packaging page lets you specify data relevant for building an NBM file from your project:

- JAR File: Displays the location and name of the actual JAR file that will be built for the module, in the form `${cluster}/${module.jar}`.
- Needs Restart on Install. Ensures that the IDE must be restarted in order to enable the module. Sets `nbm.needs.restart` in the `nbproject/project.properties` file.
- Must be Installed Globally. Ensures that the NBM file will be installed in the IDE's installation directory as well as in the IDE's user directory. If not selected, the NBM file is installed only in the IDE's user directory. Sets `nbm.is.global` in the `nbproject/project.properties` file.
- License. Points to an optional license file for the NBM file. Sets `license.file` in the `nbproject/project.properties` file. May be an absolute or project-relative path. .
- Home Page. Sets `nbm.homepage` in the `nbproject/project.properties` file.
- Author. Sets `nbm.module.author` in the `nbproject/project.properties` file.
