This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I changed extra binary /core/release/lib/ext/crimson.jar but the change should not be distributed to users as it contains if (...getHostName().startsWith("nbbuilder") { // apply patch } In the other words it have effect only on builder machine. To help your automatic process the commit log may be prefixed by DO_NOT_UPDATE_USER_BINARIES distinguishing such cases. Could you implement and document it?
Ick, wouldn't this be better done outside CVS by some special trick on the builder machine? E.g. a classpath patch? Or use a system property and let it be distributed generally?
Yes, a system property is another acceptable solution. Special tricks bypassing CVS do not sound good for me.
Won't fix
We still may need test builds using different binaries than exported ones.
Petr, provide us with detail procedure plan how to do that.
Branches, tags, an index file, ...
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
No details, closing. Issue #26758 should make nbextra-vs.-nb_all irrelevant. Test creators can run tests with special system properties turned on - this is up to the test developers.
