How do I get access to NetBeans sources using Mercurial (hg)?

First, make sure you have Mercurial installed on your machine, along with its requirements such as python.

Then, from the command line, you run 

hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main/
to get the full Platform and IDE sources. If you also want the contrib/ and misc/ repositories, it is best to first install the Forest extension for Mercurial, and then run 
hg fclone http://hg.netbeans.org/main/ nb_all

To build, simply run Ant in the root of your NetBeans sources. The build will appear in $NB_SRC/nbbuild/netbeans/.
