Using the NetBeans Shared JNLP Repository
See Also
By default, the JNLP application generated for a
module suite project always contains all the module suite
project's
modules as well as all the modules that the module
suite project depends on.
This may be useful for intranet usage, but it is a
bit less practical for wide internet use. When on
the internet, it is much better if all the applications
built on the NetBeans Platform refer to one repository
of NetBeans modules, which means that such modules are
shared and do not need to be downloaded more than once.
There is such a repository for NetBeans modules.
It does not contain all the modules that NetBeans IDE
has, such as, for example, the ant module, which is not
JNLP-ready, but it contains enough to make many JNLP applications
possible.
To use the shared JNLP repository:
- In the Projects window, expand the Important Files node.
- Double-click NetBeans Platform Config.
- Add the jnlp.platform.codebase property
with, as its value, the URL of the 5.0 JNLP Repository:
jnlp.platform.codebase=http://www.netbeans.org/download/5_0/jnlp
