In C/C++ you could tell compiler that must include all files in a given folder. These files will be compiled together with your project.

In Java, I'm using Netbeans and this functionality seems not to be present. You can add a folder (project properties/libraries), but the files must be pre-compiled (class files, not Java files).

My intention is to have a separate set of java files that many projects can include at convenience, so if I change anything in these set of files and recompile a project, it will be reflected automatically.

If you want to use your own files as library files first make sure they are compiled then put them in appropriate folder and use it like this

import foldername.filename;

For more please use Google.
