Peter,


this was more or less the idea. Branching in Git, so you have a Main 
branch and a development branch which you can test, compile and run. 
What remains is the inconvenience you described with checking out if you 
qant to switch between the versions.



But maybe (I did not try or test) you can create two projects in 
Netbeans coming from the same Git repository. One from the main branch, 
one from the development branch. If this works, you would have more or 
less what you want.

Dear Helmut,

Thank you - I already use GIT. But (as I mentioned in my reply to John 
Lavelle's comment) this doesn't seem to help separating the dev and 
release versions. I agree that it makes it easier to automate the 
workflow, but having to remember to checkout the release branch and 
recompile it at the end of each debugging session seems to me to be an 
unnecessary burden on the user. Is this what you were suggesting or 
have I missed something?



Best regards,

Maybe you should think about using a VCS (Version Control System)
like Git, Mercurial, Subversion which is useable by Netbeans.

Newbie help

[Peter Toye]

Hello

I'm returning to NetBeans after a long bap, and have forgotten almost everything I know, so please be indulgent.

I'm trying to work out how to organise the workflow for developing a program - I suspect it's changed since I was last here. 

What I can't work out is how to separate the development from the release version of the project. I've got a working version which I want to use, but I want to extend it without losing sight of the original. I've been using Visual Studio for other projects, and they have a separate configurations for the dev and release versions and the executables go into different directories. Is there a way of doing this in NetBeans? As far as I can see, once I've started a debug session, the release version is overwritten.

I can't see any documentation on the Apache NetBeans website about the basics of developing programs - I expect I'm looking in the wrong place. Thanks in advance,Petermailto:netbe...@ptoye.comhttps://www.ptoye.com
