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.
There are some instruction how to checkout and build netbeans platform: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/buildAndRun.html Unfortunately it does not work due to missing module (editor/mimelookup). Build fails.
This document is obsolete for trunk builds. (Please note that it does not claim to apply to even 5.0, much less 6.0.) You need to use the 'checkout' target, as documented e.g. here: http://nbbuild.netbeans.org/ant-quick.html Checking out a fixed list of directories is inherently unreliable.
We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
