Hello Laszlo, when you are at it, you might make the build system more "cluster based". It would be nice to ``` cd platform gradle run ``` and get a running barebone NetBeans Platform. Or rather ``` cd php gradle run ``` and get a PHP only distribution. We need to address this somehow as the NetBeans codebase is starting to become as big as it used to be and it is anoying to wait for compilation of all the features one doesn't really care about.
Just my 2 Kč idea. Best regards. -jt so 7. 3. 2020 v 17:33 odesílatel Laszlo Kishalmi <laszlo.kisha...@gmail.com> napsal: > I read those, however not really in context of NetBeans.
