NBPackage configuration and build files for the Codelerity / Gj IT installers for Apache NetBeans.
For more information see https://www.codelerity.com/netbeans/
This repository contains configuration files for building an Inno Setup Windows installer, Linux Deb packages (x64 / all), and Linux AppImages (x64 / Arm).
Before starting, download and unzip nbpackage-1.0-beta5-bin
into an nbpackage directory. Executing ./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --help should show
the help text for the packager.
Download a copy of the official Apache NetBeans binary zip release, and check against the hash file in the repository.
Create a dist directory for output files.
TIP : pass --verbose with any execution of nbpackage to see all output from
external build tools.
You will require an installation of Inno Setup from https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php.
The configuration files here are designed to build on Linux via an installation of
Inno Setup in Wine. Tweak the configuration file to point to the right place if building
on Windows, and use nbpackage.bat.
Download the right Azul Zulu JDK into the windows-x64-iss directory, checking against
the Azul provided hash. To use a different JDK, update the configuration file.
Build the installer by running -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config windows-x64-iss/netbeans-windows-x64.properties --output dist/
You will require swift, codesign and pkgbuild installed on the system.
Download the right Azul Zulu JDK into the macos-aarch64 or macos-x64 directory,
checking against the Azul provided hash. To use a different JDK, update the configuration
file.
Add your Apple developer IDs for code signing and installer signing to the configuration file.
Build the installer by running (x64) -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config macos-x64/netbeans-macos-x64.properties --output dist/
or running (aarch64) -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config macos-aarch64/netbeans-macos-aarch64.properties --output dist/
You will require fakeroot, dpkg and dpkg-deb on the system. The DEB package must
currently be built on the architecture it is designed for. Download the right
Azul Zulu JDK into the linux-x64 or linux-aarch64 directory and check against the
provided hash file.
Build the package by running eg. -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config linux-x64/netbeans-x64-deb.properties --output dist/
You will require rpm and rpmbuild on the system. If building the x64 package,
download the right Azul Zulu JDK into the linux-x64 directory and check against the
provided hash file.
Build the package by running eg. -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config linux-x64/netbeans-x64-rpm.properties --output dist/
AppImages must be built on the architecture they are designed for.
Download the x64 executable of AppImageKit into the relevant directory, checking against the provided hash. AppImageKit is itself an AppImage - make sure to mark it executable before continuing.
Build the AppImage by running eg. -
./nbpackage/bin/nbpackage --input netbeans-23-bin.zip --config linux-x64/netbeans-x64-appimage.properties --output dist/
