Can't (shouldn't!) happen. The build injects the metadata file and the git branch / hash information into the source bundle. Everything else is calculated from that during ant bootstrap. nbbuild/gitinfo.properties nbbuild/netbeansrelease.json Of course, if you were to extract the 29-rc3 source zip and delete the embedded netbeansrelease.json, you could flip the switch and build 29 from it! ;-) Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
