Description ivan 2006-06-21 09:22:00 UTC 
The web page
    http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/nb-cvs.html
could be enhanced as follows to help build NB:

- The section "Opening Checked-out Directories as Projects" should
  mention the all-important project nbbuild/"NetBeans Build System" as
  _the_ project to open if you intend to build all of NB.

- It should mention that this project has special actions to build all
  of NB ("Build IDE (no zipfile)") and that a plain build action will 
  not suffice.
