DevFaqAutomaticPlatformDownload
How can I have my application compiled in a specific version of the platform ?
Now the platform can be downloaded on demand! Just update your platform.properties files as follows:
# NOTE: You must remove the nbplatform.default line which might already exist in this file.
# Also note that editing the properties of your suite via the suite customizer (dialog)
# can add that line back in, so you'll need to watch for this and delete it again in this case.
nbplatform.active=custom
nbplatform=7.2
# Where the suite is located; you don't need to change this. It exists
# to allow us to use relative paths for the other values
suite.dir=${basedir}
# Classpath-like list of absolute or relative paths to individual clusters
# against which you want your suite to build; Note that you can use
# "bare", i.e. not numbered cluster names, which simplifies later transitions
# to newer version of the platform. E.g: ${nbplatform.active.dir}/nb
cluster.path=\
${nbplatform.active.dir}/extra:\
${nbplatform.active.dir}/ide:\
${nbplatform.active.dir}/nb:\
${nbplatform.active.dir}/platform:\
${nbplatform.active.dir}/sappy
# Path to the build harness you want to use. This is typically in the
# harness subdirectory of your platform, but you could point to a directory
# containing customized build scripts if you want to.
harness.dir=${nbplatform.custom.netbeans.dest.dir}/harness
nbplatform.custom.netbeans.dest.dir=${suite.dir}/netbeans_platform_${nbplatform}
bootstrap.url=http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/netbeans/harness/tasks.jar
autoupdate.catalog.url=http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/${nbplatform}/uc/final/distribution/catalog.xml.gz
All the magic is done by the new platform.xml file that has been recently added. In cases where you need to get updates from other URL's I made the following changes to the platform.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

After this you can add alternate update centers and it'll look for nbms on those sites as well. Just add the additional URLS in the platform.properties as follows:
autoupdate.catalog.url1=url1 autoupdate.catalog.url2=url2 . . . autoupdate.catalog.urlx=urlx
