Today, I'll be taking the stock Module Suite build files, and creating a nightly build process.
My process does an update on the source tree, builds it, runs unit tests, publishes the result to
our intranet, and labels the source tree.
My particular project uses ClearCase as the source control repository, though this should be simple

First, let's take a look at my vbuilder.conf file:
# ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
# ${APPNAME} will be replaced by the app name...
I think I'm one of the first people to make a netbeans module suite with a large number of modules, so as a followup to my last entry on module suite building, I thought I'd continue putting up some of my build script hacks.
The problem I'm solving here is in having a canonical netbeans platform to build against. Up until now, I've been building against the IDE, from within the IDE. That works...
This is going to be the most off-topic post I've done yet, but it's a UI issue, and a potentially very dangerous one, and I thought my few readers might get a kick out of this.
