Building a NetBeans platform based application?

[kdArtStuff]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get into using Bamboo for automating builds of my NetBeans platform based application.

I am a little bit confused about it and I'm not sure what exactly I need to get started.

As you probably know, a NetBeans project is composed of N ammount of Suites which contain N ammount of modules. They are built using Ant and NetBeans predefined set of Ant targets.

Say I have 2 suites called Car and Plane, each contains some modules, etc. Door, Engine, Chasis, Window... and the list goes on. Each of these in turn have build.xml file which contains Ant targets.

How do I take these Suites and automate their build using Bamboo?

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Krystian

You just treat this as any ant build system.

Although, personally, I would recommend you learn to use the Maven-based build system via the nbm-maven-plugin (https://github.com/mojohaus/nbm-maven-plugin )
