This repository contains a configuration and build system for packages of Apache NetBeans. It can be forked, edited and reused for building packages of NetBeans bundled with a JDK runtime of choice.
Links and hashes of Apache NetBeans, the bundled JDK runtimes, and the
NBPackage tool are configured
in the build.properties file. This file also contains the version number to
write into each package. Other configuration for individual packages is
included in the config files passed in to NBPackage.
Packages are built using the workflow at .github/workflows/build.yaml. This
workflow is triggered manually from the Actions/Build page using the
Run workflow button and selecting the required packages.
The workflow uses the Exec.java single source file to download and verify the
required files, as well as to configure and execute NBPackage. All downloads are
verified against the hashes provided in the build.properties file.
At the end of the workflow run, each built installer can be found in a zip file on the workflow output page.
The Windows installer must currently be downloaded and code signed locally. Optional support for signing in the workflow will be added at a later date.
The macOS packages will be code signed in the build if the relevant secrets and ID variables are added to the GitHub repository. For public distribution the files must be downloaded, notarized and stapled. Optional support for doing this in the workflow will be added at a later date.
These packages are provided without warranty, and under the licenses and terms of the bundled software. Please make sure you're familiar with all terms before downloading any artefacts. Apache NetBeans is provided under the terms of the Apache Software License.
