Hi folks,
We have some side repository building some artefacts that we need in the NetBeans main build. For example the native one (a bit windows centric for now) https://github.com/apache/netbeans-native-installers https://github.com/apache/netbeans-native-launchers And in the external file when we use it we need a coordinate to released maven artefact+checksum. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/nb/ide.launcher/external/bina ries-list 13F01FA7621AB429CEE9F0F78AE8092D7125CB53 org.apache.netbeans.native:launcher:12.5:distribution@zip I wonder if we could introduce kind use snapshot and < don't care on the md5 > just to ease local testing. But I think some changes are needed in nbbuild system to download and to check < on release > that LATEST is no present. Was thinking of that writing 13F01FA7621AB429CEE9F0F78AE8092D7125CB53 org.apache.netbeans.native:launcher:12-6-SNAPSHOT :distribution@zip LATEST Or maybe we already have this. Best Regards Eric
