> The approach to download the json file to some "build" directory will not work. ant clean will clean the build directory and your offline buildability is gone. @matthiasblaesing I actually said `nbbuild/` not `nbbuild/build/`. Check the source zip releases - they have two extra files in there - `gitinfo.properties` and `netbeansrelease.properties` to ensure consistent builds. Copying those from `nbbuild/build/` to `nbbuild/` should allow this to work offline (and if it doesn't that's a bug I think). Agree with @ebarboni this is OK to merge, but do think we should look at using the above mechanism (or extension of it) in a latter PR, in place of your instructions here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
