Hi all,

Are sources for periodic builds availble in the web? If so, where?

(I need sources for build 20080624)

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

This is *so* much more difficult than it ought to be (or used to be),
almost as if someone went out of their way to make them unavailable.
But here is how you can find them:

1.  Go to the nightly build download site:

    http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/

2.  Click the link for the build you want.

3.  You will be shown an index page which makes no mention of how you
can get a ZIP file or a source archive, so ignore it.

4.  Add "zip/" to the end of the URL in your browser's address bar and
hit enter.  In other words, the complete URL might look like this:

    http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/2008-06-24_02-01-08/zip/

5.  There are about a dozen links on that page.  The one you want is
begins with "netbeans-trunk-nightly" and ends with "-src.zip"  Click
that link to download the source archive.

Can we have the link added back to the download page.  It really needs
to be there.

Yes, it will be added when the next build becomes available. By the way, the easiest way how to get the ZIP distribution of the IDE is to choose "OS Independent Zip" option from the "Platform" pulldown menu and click "Download" button for the desired bundle.

Hope this helps,

If you choose OS Independent Zip, you never get the option of src, platform src, or javadoc zips that also live in that directory.
