How do I get access to zipped NetBeans sources for a periodic build?

Apache NetBeans Wiki Index

Note: These pages are being reviewed.

(as of June, 2010)

  1. Go to the nightly build download site:

   http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/

  1. Click the link for the build you want.

  1. You will be shown an index page where you can find a link to the folder with ZIP archives of binary builds and sources.

  1. Click the link or add "zip/" to the end of the URL in your browser’s address bar manually and hit enter. In other words, the complete URL might look like this:

   http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/2010-06-11_00-01-15/zip/

  1. There are about a dozen links on that page. The one you want begins with "netbeans-trunk-nightly" and ends with "-src.zip" Click that link to download the source archive.
