the insight is good, so you obvisually went through this and could improve the documentation. That would help the project and you. Remember: Many current contributors are around for a long time, so they now the places to look and the thinks to do. > 2) 10 minute turnaround time for fix-build-run-test cycle is too much. This will require some one to step up and look through the build where the time is spend. But normally you don't need to rebuild the whole IDE. You build once and if you need to modify a set of modules, you just rebuild these. > 3) Most importantly I don't know how to start the whole thing in debug > mode.

This will run netbeans with debugging enabled: /bin/netbeans -J-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,server=y,address=9009 To run a freshly build netbeans you can invoke: ant -Ddebug.port=9009 tryme This will start the build IDE with a test userdir and it will wait on tcp port 9009 for debugger connections. > 4) Just people fiddling around in debugger can lead to some fixes and > contributions as we're observing system's behavior. Sure. I hope you stay and improve the situation.
