Sure, and I already said I would love something like that. My patch is already done though, has 70 lines, just changes a few files. Re-doing this as a proper build system addition seems like another thing altogether. NetBeans never did have build flags like this. I guess it's not that hard to append to libs.javacapi/manifest.mf (or to have a 2nd manifest.mf for the flag) but this seems a crude solution. > You're looking at the wrong thing - that's about derivatives, not > distributing NetBeans itself.

Calling that installer NetBeans based on nominative fair user seems an interesting angle. --emi On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 8:12 PM Neil C Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, 27 Nov 2019 at 17:30, Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don't see what I'm doing as splitting the effort.
