Here are the commands I use myself to build custom NetBeans builds for my NetBeans Platform application:

I'm willing to do so but I need some guidance. My application is mavenized. What is the simplest way to test this PR locally with the dev version of Netbeans? For instance, can I create a "RELEASE160-SNAPSHOT" version locally via a command? If I had this, I could easily switch my application's NB Platform version to this dev version and test the change. Much appreciated! Mathieu
