Hi,
I've read an older thread with the same name and while there's a lot of
useful information, I could really use some clarification on working
with branches:
1. I assume whenever I decide to pull changes from upstream, a full ant
build is necessary, and there's no way around it, correct?
2. When I work on my branch to fix an issue in one of the NetBeans
modules and then switch to another branch to work on a different
module, is full build (or cluster build, if applicable) necessary
again? It would appear so to me, because I've seen some weird
exceptions occurring when running a module after switching branches.
But the full build takes a huge amount of time and is often interrupted
eg. when it can't download something from gitbox.apache.org, etc. So I'm
trying to find a way to avoid it whenever possible, because otherwise
the time that could be spent on debugging and fixing issues is actually
being spent on waiting for build, without being able to do anything else.
Thanks.
