Re: Build Infrastructure Project

Sounds great. 1. Hopefully, builds triggerd from NetBeans would become easier especially on Windows. 2. There are some make nodes e.g. nio charsets, which definitely don't have C code to compile, but require Visual Studio to be installed on Windows. Hopefully this unnecessary dependency could
