Description ccuche 2003-12-17 08:13:58 UTC 
Apisupport should be included with the source 
distribition to enable rebuild of the IDE 
(development environment) only from the source. 
For the moment, one has to use autoupdate, to 
start developing a module for Netbeans...what 
happen is autoupdate/or web site is buggy?
Also apisupport should not be in the 
nbbuild/build.xml script, but just in the source 
tree, thus people have all the material to 
rebuild a given version of the IDE without 
external depencies.

I think apisupport is intentionally omitted from the product. If you
disagree, feel free to bring it up on nbdiscuss, but arguing in
Issuezilla is not going to work.

Re. "Also apisupport should not be in the nbbuild/build.xml script,
but just in the source tree, thus people have all the material to
rebuild a given version of the IDE without external depencies." - not
sure what you are talking about; it *is* in the source tree, and you
can rebuild whatever you want without external dependencies. Probably
you should use nbdev and state more clearly what you are missing.
