Hi,
I see no reason to compile the entire ANB when you need to change one class:
Java Hacker's guide ;)
Jar is a plain zip file and nothing prevents us from replacing any class
with our version.
Assuming that we preserve the original definition of methods and
Inheritances.
We can change the body of methods without any problem.
Of course, you can also add a new method and additionally implement any
interface in classpath.
If the patched library is available as maven artifact create a maven
project and add that library as a dependency.
Otherwise, we will use the Ant project and we manually add that library
and necessary dependencies.
Be sure to set the correct Java target level in the project..
Now we will create a package and a class that we want to patch.
After making the necessary adjustments, we will compile the project.
And in the ../target/classes directory, our patched classes are waiting
for us.
You can find the Maven project with your patch here:
https://github.com/arsi-apli/ModulePatchExample
Now we just have to add / overwrite the original classes with ours in
the jar.
Download the ANB 11 distribution zip and unpack it somewhere. Goto
./netbeans/platform/modules/ and add the generated classes to
org-netbeans-modules-autoupdate-ui.jar to correct package/folder
If you are developing the NB modules via ant, just add that unpacked ANB
dist directory as the NB platform.
For maven it is necessary to modify original maven artifact jar file
and publish this jar as new maven artifact version (locally) and use it
as dependency.
And when you pack that unpacked distribution directory, you have a
patched distribution..
I used this procedure to port Android tools libraries to support java >
8 in NBANDROID...

Hello!
I have a solution that works quite well in Netbeans 8.2. I believe
that the question is whether or not this approach should still work
with NetBeans 11.0. If it should, then I would like to find out why
it isn’t working. If the approach described at
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqOrphanedNetBeansOrgModules is no longer
valid for NetBeans 11.0, then so be it, and I will move to a different
approach.
In the bigger picture, it would probably be helpful for others in the
community using the method in the aforementioned FAQ to know whether
the method is still valid for 11.0.
I don’t know if my platform patch is useful for others. There didn’t
seem to be much interest when it was being discussed on
forums.netbeans.org back in 2016.
Thank You!

Hi,
If you only want a private patch, you can do a patch module:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqModulePatching
Maven example:

My patch is described here:

As for patching the zip, I am familiar with that process, and I am
not familiar with the GitHub/pull request process. Patching the
zip previously worked fine.
Thank You!

I believe they should be downloaded during the build process.
But rather than patching via the ZIP, why not clone the GitHub
repo and then provide a pull request there?
What does your patch do?

Hello!
I am in the initial phase of trying to patch a NetBeans 11.0
platform module (which I have successfully done in NetBeans
8.2) per the procedure at
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqOrphanedNetBeansOrgModules. I
downloaded the 11.0 source from the links at
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-11.0/incubating-netbeans-11.0-source.zip
The process is crashing at the “ant -f nbbuild/build.xml
bootstrap” step with numerous errors regarding javax.help,
such as:
nb_all\nbbuild\antsrc\org\netbeans\nbbuild\CheckHelpSets.java:37:
error: package javax.help does not exist
In the netbeans 8.2 platform source, javahelp\external
contains the following files: binaries-list, jhall-2.0_05.jar,
jhall-2.0_05-license.txt
In the netbeans 11.0 platform source, javahelp\external
contains the following files: binaries-list,
jhall-2.0_05-license.txt
jhall-2.0_05.jar is missing in 11.0, which I believe is the
source of the above error. The 11.0 binaries-list file
contains the following text:

It seems that jhall-2.0_05.jar should be in the 11.0,
javahelp\external folder (like it is in 8.2), but it is
missing. Is this a bug? I searched through the 11.0 source,
and I don’t find jhall-2.0_05.jar included.
Thank You for any help!
