Here's what I usually do when I want to have multiple custom NetBeans builds available to test and switch between: 1) Clone the NetBeans repo. git clone [email protected]:apache/netbeans.git 2) Switch to the branch of the latest official release. E.g. "git checkout 23" 3) Run "ant". (Takes a few minutes.) 4) Now there is a fresh NetBeans build in the directory netbeans\nbbuild\netbeans. Copy it e.g. to "C:\Program Files\NetBeans\netbeans-23" 5) Now apply the changes you want to test. E.g. "wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/apache/netbeans/pull/8024.patch"; and "patch -p1 < 8024.patch" for this PR if you have a Linux command line available (via [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)). 6) Run "ant clean" and "ant" again. 7) Now you have another fresh NetBeans build in the directory netbeans\nbbuild\netbeans. Copy it e.g. to "C:\Program Files\NetBeans\netbeans-23-pr8024" 8) Now you can run either "C:\Program Files\NetBeans\netbeans-23\bin\netbeans64.exe" or "C:\Program Files\NetBeans\netbeans-23-pr8024\bin\netbeans64.exe" to run with your patch disabled or enabled. (You may need to set netbeans_jdkhome to the path to your JDK in etc\netbeans.conf in each NetBeans folder.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
