+#NetBeans Repository plugin
+
+The plugin is capable of populating the local or remote maven repository with module jars and NBM files from a given NetBeans installation. Useful for
+module development, modules with public APIs are separated from those without a public API.
+See the `populate` goal.
+
+ To get access to a repository with NetBeans.org module artifacts and metadata, add [http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/](http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/) repository to your project POM
+or the repository manager you are using. The repository hosts binaries of NetBeans 6.5 and later.
+
+ Also see: [Maven NBM development FAQs](http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansDeveloperFAQ#Mavenized_Builds)
+ 
+## HOWTO: Upload NetBeans release binaries to a Maven repository
+
+There is a `populate` goal that converts the NetBeans module information into Maven metadata
+and is capable of uploading the module jar file, javadoc, sources and nbm files to local
+and remote repositories. 
+
+For a binary-only upload (jar files and nbm files only), it's possible to download the bits from official sites. See below for URLs.
+
+For the complete upload, you will need to checkout the sources of the IDE/Platform you
+want to upload. See this FAQ entry on [HowTo checkout sources from Hg](http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqAccessSourcesUsingMercurial)
+
+
+ The goal has multiple input parameters that link the goal to binaries prepared beforehand.
+
+* `netbeansInstallDirectory` designates the base directory where resides the NetBeans installation
+that shall be uploaded. It can be either [downloaded as zip](http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html) or built from sources.
+Run `ant` in your local hg clone to build the distribution at `nbbuild/netbeans` sundirectory.
+
+* `netbeansNbmDirectory` designates the base directory where the nbm files are located.
+Run `ant build-nbms` in your local `hg clone` to build the nbms at `nbbuild/nbms` directory or download it from the
+[http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans](http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans) space eg.
+final *6.5* version at [http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/*6.5*/final/uc/](http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.5/final/uc/).
+Use a tool like `wget` to download the complete directory tree to a directory designated by the `netbeansNbmDirectory` parameter.
+
+* `netbeansSourcesDirectory` designates the base directory containing zip files with module jar sources.
+Run `ant build-source-zips` in your local hg clone to build the nbms at `nbbuild/build/source-zips` directory.
+
+* `netbeansJavadocDirectory` designates the base directory containing zip files with javadoc zips for modules with public apis.
+Run `ant build-javadoc` in your local hg clone to build the nbms at `nbbuild/build/javadoc` directory.
+
+* To have external dependencies correctly identified by their real GAV, you will need to download the index from central (or other) repository using the `download` goal.

+
+NetBeans Repository plugin
+
+ The plugin is capable of populating the local or remote maven repository with module jars and NBM files from a given NetBeans installation. Useful for
+module development, modules with public APIs are separated from those without a public API.
+See the {{{./populate-mojo.html}<<<populate>>>}} goal and the {{{./repository.html}HOWTO document}} for details.
+
+ To get access to a repository with NetBeans.org module artifacts and metadata, add {{{http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/}http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/}} repository to your project POM
+or the repository manager you are using. The repository hosts binaries of NetBeans 6.5 and later.
+
+ Also see: {{{http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansDeveloperFAQ#Mavenized_Builds}Maven NBM development FAQs}}

+
+HOWTO: Upload NetBeans release binaries to a Maven repository
+
+
+ There is a goal that converts the NetBeans module information into Maven metadata
+and is capable of uploading the module jar file, javadoc, sources and nbm files to local
+and remote repositories. See {{{./populate-mojo.html}<<<populate>>> goal}} description.
+
+ For a binary-only upload (jar files and nbm files only), it's possible to download the bits from official sites. See below for URLs.
+For the complete upload, you will need to checkout the sources of the IDE/Platform you
+want to upload. See this FAQ entry on {{{http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqAccessSourcesUsingMercurial}HowTo checkout sources from Hg}}
+
+ To have external dependencies correctly identified by their real GAV, you will need to download the index from central (or other) repository. 
+See {{{./download-mojo.html}<<<download>>> goal}}
+
+ The goal has multiple input parameters that link the goal to binaries prepared beforehand.
+
+   * <<netbeansInstallDirectory>> designates the base directory where resides the NetBeans installation
+that shall be uploaded. It can be either {{{http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html}downloaded as zip}} or built from sources.
+Run <<<ant>>> in your local hg clone to build the distribution at <<<nbbuild/netbeans>>> sundirectory.
+
+   * <<netbeansNbmDirectory>> designates the base directory where the nbm files are located.
+Run <<<ant build-nbms>>> in your local <<<hg clone>>> to build the nbms at <<<nbbuild/nbms>>> directory or download it from the
+{{{http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans}http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans}} space eg.
+final <<6.5>> version at {{{http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.5/final/uc/}http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/<<6.5>>/final/uc/}}.

+# NetBeans Module Maven plugin
+
+[ ![Codeship Status for mojohaus/nbm-maven-plugin](https://codeship.com/projects/827d5e10-2da6-0133-ca32-7e50f7676400/status?branch=master)](https://codeship.com/projects/98910)
+
+This Apache Maven plugin is able to create NetBeans module(plugin) artifacts. It registers a new packaging type `nbm`. Any project with this packaging will be automatically turned into a NetBeans module project. Additionally it allows to create clusters of modules, generate an autoupdate site content or build and assemble an application on top of NetBeans platform.
+
+Note: The `nbm:populate-repository` goal has been moved to it's own plugin at [nb-repository-plugin](https://github.com/mojohaus/nb-repository-plugin/).
+
+To get access to a repository with NetBeans.org module artifacts and metadata, add [http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/](http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/) repository to your project POM or the repository manager you are using. The repository hosts binaries of NetBeans 6.5 and later.
+
+Also see: [Maven NBM development FAQs](http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansDeveloperFAQ#Mavenized_Builds)
+
+Sample pom.xml excerpts for creation of a NetBeans module:

+```
+## Maven Dependency vs. NetBeans runtime dependency
+There are important differences between Maven's dependency mechanism and NetBeans runtime dependencies. Maven's dependencies are transitive, so at compile time you get not only direct dependencies you declared, but also dependencies of dependencies etc. In NetBeans, the module dependencies are non-transitive by nature, you have to explicitly declare all at runtime. Additionally next to module dependencies there are also library jars attached and shipped with the module's main artifact. In the NetBeans terminology there is a special sort of modules called "library wrappers". These library wrappers add the libraries on the module's classpath and allow other modules to depend on the libraries within the IDE's runtime.
+
+The ways in which the nbm-maven-plugin tries to adress these issues has changed over time.
+
+The plugin walks the dependency tree to detect and identify module dependencies and classpath libraries.
+
+A maven dependency is turned into a NetBeans runtime dependency when:
+
+* For NetBeans module dependencies (dependency jars that have the NetBeans specific entries in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF)
+  * It's a direct dependency (non-transitive) and is a NetBeans module itself. Preferred way of declaring module dependencies.
+  * It's defined in existing (though optional and deprecated) module.xml file in dependencies section. Try to avoid this, but still useful if one wants to put an explicit dependency value on the module, or use implementation dependency.
+  * When the dependency is of type nbm. Deprecated in **3.0.x**, only helpful in older versions. Such dependencies don't include their transitive deps on compilation classpath. That should allow one to simulate the rumtime dependencies at compilation time in maven, however there's one major drawback. Not only are the nbm's module dependencies hidden, but the libraries associated with the given nbm module are also hidden. So you can end up with less stuff on classpath as opposed to more stuff with jar typed dependencies.
+* For module libraries (jars that are packed together with the module and appear on it's classpath directly, not by a dependency relationship.)
+  * It's a direct dependency and is not of provided scope.
+  * It's a transitive dependency, pulled in by a direct dependency (only non-module one - see first bullet) This is new in **3.0+**
+  * It's defined in existing (though optional) module.xml file in libraries section. Consider this deprecated in **3.0+**.
+
+The complete nbm descriptor format documentation, and example descriptors are also available. 
+
+Please note that since **3.8** version, the descriptor is deprecated and replaced by plugin configuration parameters.
+
+Additionally we perform dependency analysis in order to warn the user when runtime dependencies are wrong. So project's own classes and it's classpath libraries' classes are checked against the module dependencies (with appropriate filtering for public packages/private packages). If the classes depend on declared module dependency's private classes or on transitive module dependency's classes, the build fails. That should prevent ClassNotFoundException's later at runtime, when the NetBeans module system constructs the classpath for the module based on our metadata generated.
+
+## Using OSGi bundles in NetBeans platform based applications
+Starting with version **3.2**, it's possible for the NetBeans modules to depend on OSGi bundles. A proper module dependency section will be generated. To include the bundle in the application, add dependency on the bundle from nbm-application. There are a few prerequisites.
+
+It works only in NetBeans 6.9 and later which support the embedding of bundles at runtime
+Add `<useOSGiDependencies>true</useOSGiDependencies>` configuration entry to all the modules depending on OSGi bundles. Existing applications/modules need to check modules wrapping external libraries for library jars that are also OSGi bundles. Such modules will no longer include the OSGi bundles as part of the module NBM but will include a modular dependency reference on the bundle only. Modules depending on these old wrapper modules shall depend directly on the bundle, eventually rendering the old library wrapper module obsolete.
+in the distribution, all bundles will be included in the default cluster (extra if not configured otherwise), in **3.10 and later** the plugin will attempt to guess the cluster based on modules depending on it.
+Before version **3.10** all bundles will be autoload, thus requiring at least one depending regular module to enable them. In **3.10 and later**, developers of the OSGi bundles can influence the autoload vs regular behaviour by adding Nbm-Maven-Plugin-Autoload attribute to the bundle's manifest with "true" or "false" values. False means the module will be enabled on start, even without any other modules depending on it.
+
+## Multi module setup
+If you have a set of NetBeans modules, or are building on top of NetBeans Platform, you will make use of the additional goals provided by the plugin.
+
+If you are building a Platform-based application, use a project with `nbm-application` packaging to perform the final application assembly. This packaging type (defined in nbm-maven-plugin) should have your module projects and all dependencies of the target NetBeans Platform included as dependencies.
+
+For the NetBeans Platform/IDE modules, there are artifacts that aggregate modules in clusters. These are put in the `org.netbeans.clusters` groupId (on `bits.netbeans.org` or in your own repository). The following snippet will include the basic NetBeans platform cluster and your own module in the application. You can use standard dependency exclusion lists to cut out modules from the Platform that you don't need.
+
+```xml
+    <artifactId>application</artifactId>
+    <packaging>nbm-application</packaging>
+    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+    <dependencies>
+        <dependency>
+            <groupId>org.netbeans.cluster</groupId>
+            <artifactId>platform8</artifactId>
+            <version>${netbeans.version}</version>
+            <type>pom</type>
+        </dependency>
+        <dependency>
+            <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
+            <artifactId>module1</artifactId>
+            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+        </dependency>
+    </dependencies>
+```    
+The nbm-application project/packaging defines a build lifecycle that creates a final application from the NBM files in local/remote repotories and bundles them in a ZIP file (also uploadable to the repository). In addition to that you can configure the project to generate an autoupdate site and/or webstartable binaries of the applications (typically in a deployment profile):
+
+```xml
+            <plugin>
+                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+                <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+                <executions>
+                    <execution>
+                        <id>extra</id>
+                        <goals>
+                            <goal>autoupdate</goal>
+                            <goal>webstart-app</goal>
+                        </goals>
+                    </execution>
+                </executions>
+            </plugin>
+```            
+See the `autoupdate` and `webstart-app` goals for more details.
+
+### mvn nbm:cluster
+This goal aggregates output of multiple NetBeans module projects and creates one or more clusters in the current project. So usually one runs this goal on the parent POM project, which aggregates the content of all its modules. The resulting cluster structure can later be used for running the application, creating an installer or similar. A variant of this goal is also included in the nbm-application project's default lifecycle.
+
+### mvn nbm:branding
+Branding is to used when one builds an application based on NetBeans Platform (as opposed to creating set of modules for the IDE). Branding contains all the resources that are to be changed in the platform binaries (resource bundles, images, HTML files etc.) to give the application its unique look.
+
+This goal can be attached to one of the nbm module projects that will be part of the NetBeans Platform-based application.
+
+For more detailed tutorial, check [NetBeans Platform Quick Start Using Maven tutorial](https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-maven-quickstart.html)
+
+The branding is included as part of a regular nbm subproject and cannot be attached to a pom packaged root project.
+
+### mvn nbm:run-ide nbm:run-platform
+These two goals do almost the same, they allow you to execute your projects content within the IDE or NetBeans platform.
+
+`nbm:run-platform` only makes sense to execute on projects with `nbm-application` packaging.
+
+For more information on plugin configuration and customization, see goal documentation.
+
+## Public packages declaration
+By default all your module's packages (and classes) and private to the given module. If you want to expose any API to other modules, you will need to declare those public packages in your `pom.xml`. This includes not only your own classes but also any other 3rd party library classes that are packaged with your module and are to be exposed for reuse by other modules.
+
+For example:
+```xml
+            <plugin>
+                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+                <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+                <version>3.8.1</version>
+                <extensions>true</extensions>
+                <configuration>
+                   <publicPackages>
+                       <publicPackage>org.foo.api</publicPackage>
+                       <publicPackage>org.apache.commons.*</publicPackage>
+                   </publicPackages>
+                </configuration>
+            </plugin>
+```            
+there is a package `org.foo.api` made public (but not `org.foo.api.impl` package) and any package starting with `org.apache.commons`, so both `org.apache.commons.io` and `org.apache.commons.exec` packages are exposed to the outside
+
+## Archetypes anyone?
+There are two basic archetypes:
+
+The first once creates a single project preconfigured to be a NetBeans module. Use this one if you are developing a NetBeans IDE module, or a module for a NetBeans Platform-based application.
+```
+mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=nbm-archetype \
+  -DarchetypeVersion=... -DgroupId=org.kleint -DartifactId=milos -Dversion=1.0 archetype:generate
+```  
+The second one creates a parent POM project containing configuration and application branding for your NetBeans Platform-based application.
+```
+mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=netbeans-platform-app-archetype \
+  -DarchetypeVersion=... -DgroupId=org.kleint -DartifactId=milos -Dversion=1.0 archetype:generate
+```  
+## IDE support
+The NetBeans IDE has Maven support. Among other features, it contains additional support for working with NetBeans module projects. The support includes file templates, important nodes in projects view, running module(s) in the IDE or Platform.

+    <description>Maven plugin for creating NetBeans modules. It defines a custom lifecycle called "nbm". During packaging, the module JAR is enhanced with NetBeans-specific manifest entries and, along with other required files, packed into a *.nbm file, ready for distribution. Additionally the plugin provides aggregator goals to create an update site or cluster for your module projects.

+
+HOWTO: Customize installers generated by nbm:build-installers
+
+ Generated installers can be customized by providing user-defined 
+ customized templateFile and pass parameters to it with
+ userSettings parameter.
+ See {{{./build-installers-mojo.html}<<<build-installers>>> goal}} description.
+
+ User defined template can be used to modify generated installer
+ behavior, e.g. branding of installation environment etc.
+
+*Example 1: Simple change in installer code
+
+ Simple changes into original Harness installer code can be made by filtering
+ corresponding file using Ant in templateFile.
+
+ Following code added into <<<prepare-sources>>> target takes rid of the "Run application
+ when installer finished" checkbox at the last page of installer wizard:
+
++-----+
+<replace file="${installer.build.dir}/ext/engine/src/org/mycompany/installer/wizard/components/panels/PostInstallSummaryPanel.java" encoding="utf-8">
+    <replacefilter token="runAppNow.doClick();" value="runAppNow.setVisible(false);"/>
+</replace>
++-----+
+
+*Example 2: More complex installer code changes
+
+ If the code changes become more complex better solution is to replace entire
+ Harness files with modified versions.
+
+ For example, you would like to register file associations for your application.
+
+ First of all, prepare your modified version of the file ConfigurationLogic.java
+ according to the instructions at {{{http://wiki.netbeans.org/NBIFileAssosiations}http://wiki.netbeans.org/NBIFileAssosiations}}.
+ 
+ As a next step add a copy task into <<<prepare-sources>>> target in your templateFile:
+
++-----+
+<copy file="${configuration.logic.file}" overwrite="true" tofile="${installer.build.dir}/ext/components/products/helloworld/src/org/mycompany/ConfigurationLogic.java"/>
++-----+
+
+ and finally define <<<configuration.logic.file>>> parameter in the application's pom:
+
++-----+
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+    <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <configuration>
+        <templateFile>${basedir}/installer/template.xml</templateFile>
+        <userSettings>
+            <configuration.logic.file>${basedir}/installer/ConfigurationLogic.java</configuration.logic.file>
+        </userSettings>
+    </configuration>
+</plugin>
++-----+
+
+*Example 3: Branding of installer images
+
+ If installer left corner image has to be branded,
+ following code can be added to templateFile target
+ <<<prepare-sources>>>:
+
++-----+
+<condition property="ilc.path" value="${nbi.instleftcorner.file}">
+     <and>
+         <isset property="nbi.instleftcorner.file"/>
+         <available file="${nbi.instleftcorner.file}"/>
+     </and>
+</condition>
+<condition property="ilc.defined">
+     <and>
+         <isset property="nbi.instleftcorner.file"/>
+         <available file="${nbi.instleftcorner.file}"/>
+     </and>
+</condition> 
+<antcall target="-prepare-ilc"/>
++-----+
+
+ In addition, new target <<<-prepare-ilc>>> has to be defined, e.g. at the end of templateFile:
+
++-----+
+<target name="-prepare-ilc" if="ilc.defined">
+    <copy file="${ilc.path}" tofile="${installer.build.dir}/ext/engine/src/org/mycompany/installer/wizard/wizard-description-background-left.png" overwrite="true"/>
+</target>
++-----+
+
+ which effectively replaces the desired image.
+
+ Finally, update application's pom:
+
++-----+
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+    <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+    <configuration>
+        <templateFile>${basedir}/installer/template.xml</templateFile>
+        <userSettings>
+            <nbi.instleftcorner.file>${basedir}/installer/ilc.png</nbi.instleftcorner.file>
+        </userSettings>
+    </configuration>
+</plugin>
++-----+

+NetBeans Module plugin
+
+ This m2 plugin is able to create NetBeans module(plugin) artifacts. It registers a new packaging type <<<nbm>>>. Any project with
+this packaging will be automatically turned into a NetBeans module project. Additionally it allows to create clusters of modules, generate
+an autoupdate site content or build and assemble an application on top of NetBeans platform.
+
+ Note: The <<<nbm:populate-repository>>> goal has been moved to it's own plugin {{{../nb-repository-plugin/index.html}nb-repository-plugin}}.
+
+ To get access to a repository with NetBeans.org module artifacts and metadata, add {{{http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/}http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/}} repository to your project POM
+or the repository manager you are using. The repository hosts binaries of NetBeans 6.5 and later.
+
+ Also see: {{{http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansDeveloperFAQ#Mavenized_Builds}Maven NBM development FAQs}}
+

+
+
+Maven Dependency vs. NetBeans runtime dependency
+
+ There are important differences between Maven's dependency mechanism and NetBeans runtime dependencies.
+Maven's dependencies are transitive, so at compile time you get not only direct dependencies you declared, but also
+dependencies of dependencies etc. In NetBeans, the module dependencies are non-transitive by nature, you have to explicitly declare all at runtime.
+Additionally next to module dependencies there are also library jars attached and shipped with the module's main artifact.
+In the NetBeans terminology there is a special sort of modules called "library wrappers". These library wrappers
+add the libraries on the module's classpath and allow other modules to depend on the libraries within the IDE's runtime.
+
+ The ways in which the nbm-maven-plugin tries to adress these issues has changed over time.
+
+ The plugin walks the dependency tree to detect and identify module dependencies
+and classpath libraries.
+
+  A maven dependency is turned into a NetBeans runtime dependency when:
+
+    * for NetBeans module dependencies (dependency jars that have the NetBeans specific entries in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF)
+
+        * It's a direct dependency (non-transitive) and is a NetBeans module itself. Preferred way of declaring
+module dependencies. 
+
+        * It's defined in existing (though optional) module.xml file in <<<dependencies>>> section.
+Try to avoid this, but still useful if one wants to put an explicit dependency value on the module, or use implementation dependency.
+
+        * When the dependency is of type <<<nbm>>>. Deprecated in 3.0.x, only helpful in older versions.
+Such dependencies don't include their transitive deps on compilation classpath.
+That should allow one to simulate the rumtime dependencies at compilation time in maven, however there's one major drawback. Not only are the nbm's module dependencies hidden, but the libraries associated with the
+given nbm module are also hidden. So you can end up with less stuff on classpath  as opposed to more stuff with <<<jar typed dependencies>>>.
+
+    * for module libraries (jars that are packed together with the module and appear on it's classpath directly, not by a dependency relationship.)
+
+        * It's a direct dependency and is not of <<<provided>>> scope.
+
+        * It's a transitive dependency, pulled in by a direct dependency (only non-module one - see first bullet) This is new in <<3.0+>>
+
+        * It's defined in existing (though optional) module.xml file in <libraries> section. Consider this deprecated in <<3.0+>>.
+
+
+ The complete {{{./nbm.html}nbm descriptor format}} documentation, and {{{./descriptor.html}example descriptors}} are also available. 
+Please note that since 3.8 version, the descriptor is deprecated and replaced by plugin configuration parameters.
+
+ Additionally we perform dependency analysis in order to warn the user when runtime dependencies are wrong.
+So project's own classes and it's classpath libraries' classes are checked against the module dependencies
+(with appropriate filtering for public packages/private packages).
+If the classes depend on declared module dependency's private classes or on transitive module dependency's classes,
+the build fails. That should prevent ClassNotFoundException's later at runtime, when the NetBeans module
+system constructs the classpath for the module based on our metadata generated.
+
+Using OSGi bundles in NetBeans platform based applications
+
+ Starting with version <<3.2>>, it's possible for the NetBeans modules to depend on OSGi bundles. A proper module dependency section will be generated.
+To include the bundle in the application, add dependency on the bundle from nbm-application.
+There are a few prerequisites.
+
+   * It works only in NetBeans 6.9 and later which support the embedding of bundles at runtime
+
+   * Add <<<\<useOSGiDependencies\>true\</useOSGiDependencies\>>>> configuration entry to all the modules depending on OSGi bundles.
+     Existing applications/modules need to check modules wrapping
+     external libraries for library jars that are also OSGi bundles. Such modules will no longer include the OSGi bundles
+     as part of the module NBM but will include a modular dependency reference on the bundle only. Modules depending on these old wrapper modules
+     shall depend directly on the bundle, eventually rendering the old library wrapper module obsolete.
+
+   * in the distribution, all bundles will be included in the default cluster (<<<extra>>> if not configured otherwise), 
+    in <<3.10 and later>> the plugin will attempt to guess the cluster based on modules depending on it.
+
+   * Before version <<3.10>> all bundles will be autoload, thus requiring at least one depending regular module to enable them. In <<3.10 and later>>, developers of the OSGi bundles
+     can influence the autoload vs regular behaviour by adding <<Nbm-Maven-Plugin-Autoload>> attribute to the bundle's manifest with "true" or "false" values. 
+     False means the module will be enabled on start, even without any other modules depending on it.
+
+
+Multi module setup
+
+ If you have a set of NetBeans modules, or are building on top of NetBeans Platform,
+you will make use of the additional goals provided by the plugin.
+
+ If you are building a Platform-based application, use a project
+with <<<nbm-application>>> packaging to perform the final application assembly.
+This packaging type (defined in nbm-maven-plugin) should have your module projects
+and all dependencies of the target NetBeans Platform included as dependencies.
+
+ For the NetBeans Platform/IDE modules, there are artifacts that aggregate modules in clusters.
+These are put in the <<<org.netbeans.clusters>>> groupId (on <<<bits.netbeans.org>>> or in your own repository).
+The following snippet will include the basic NetBeans platform cluster and your own
+module in the application. You can use standard dependency exclusion lists to cut out modules from the Platform that
+you don't need.
+
++-----+
+    <artifactId>application</artifactId>
+    <packaging>nbm-application</packaging>
+    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+    <dependencies>
+        <dependency>
+            <groupId>org.netbeans.cluster</groupId>
+            <artifactId>platform8</artifactId>

+    ....
++-----+
+
+ The nbm-application project/packaging defines a build lifecycle that creates a final application
+from the NBM files in local/remote repotories and bundles them in a ZIP file (also uploadable to the repository).
+In addition to that you can configure the project to generate an autoupdate site and/or
+webstartable binaries of the applications (typically in a deployment profile):
+
++-----+
+            <plugin>
+                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

+                <executions>

+            </plugin>
++-----+
+
+ See the {{{./autoupdate-mojo.html}autoupdate}} and {{{./webstart-app-mojo.html}webstart-app}} goals
+for more details.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+mvn nbm:cluster
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ This goal aggregates output of multiple NetBeans module projects and creates one 
+or more clusters in the current project. So usually one runs this goal on the parent POM project,
+which aggregates the content of all its modules. 
+The resulting cluster structure can later be used for running the application, creating an installer or similar.
+A variant of this goal is also included in the nbm-application project's default lifecycle.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+mvn nbm:branding
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ Branding is to used when one builds an application based on NetBeans Platform (as opposed to creating set of modules for the IDE).
+Branding contains all the resources that are to be changed in the platform binaries (resource bundles, images, HTML files etc.) 
+to give the application its unique look.
+
+ This goal can be attached to one of the nbm module projects that will be part of the
+NetBeans Platform-based application.
+
+ For more detailed tutorial, check the {{{http://netbeans.dzone.com/videos/screencast-maven-and-netbeans}Screencast: Maven and the NetBeans Platform}}
+video recorded by Fabrizio Giudici. It describes to Fabrizio's open source project {{{http://kenai.com/projects/forceten}ForceTen}} which can be used as reference setup for Maven NetBeans Platform based apps.
+
+ The branding is included as part of a regular nbm subproject and cannot be attached to a <<<pom>>> packaged root project.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+mvn nbm:run-ide nbm:run-platform
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ 
+ These two goals do almost the same, they allow you to execute your projects content within
+the IDE or NetBeans platform.
+
+ <<<nbm:run-platform>>> only makes sense to execute on projects with <<<nbm-application>>> packaging.
+
+ For more information on plugin configuration and customization, see {{{./plugin-info.html}goal documentation}}.
+
+
+Public packages declaration
+
+ By default all your module's packages (and classes) and private to the given module. If you want to expose
+any API to other modules, you will need to declare those public packages in your <<<pom.xml>>>. This includes
+not only your own classes but also any other 3rd party library classes that are packaged with your module
+and are to be exposed for reuse by other modules.
+
+ For example:
+
++-----+
+            <plugin>
+                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
+                <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+                <version>${project.version}</version>
+                <extensions>true</extensions>
+                <configuration>
+                   <publicPackages>
+                       <publicPackage>org.foo.api</publicPackage>
+                       <publicPackage>org.apache.commons.*</publicPackage>
+                   </publicPackages>
+                </configuration>
+            </plugin>
++-----+
+
+ there is a package <<<org.foo.api>>> made public (but not <<<org.foo.api.impl>>> package) and
+any package starting with <<<org.apache.commons>>>, so both <<<org.apache.commons.io>>> and <<<org.apache.commons.exec>>> packages are exposed to the outside
+
+
+
+Archetypes anyone?
+ 
+ There are two basic archetypes:
+
+ The first once creates a single project preconfigured to be a NetBeans module. Use this
+one if you are developing a NetBeans IDE module, or a module for a NetBeans Platform-based application.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=nbm-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=... \
+  -DgroupId=org.kleint -DartifactId=milos -Dversion=1.0 archetype:generate
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ The second one creates a parent POM project containing configuration and application branding for your NetBeans Platform-based application.
+
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=netbeans-platform-app-archetype \
+  -DarchetypeVersion=... -DgroupId=org.kleint -DartifactId=milos -Dversion=1.0 archetype:generate
++-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+IDE support
+
+ The NetBeans IDE has Maven support. Among other features, it
+contains additional support for working with NetBeans module projects. The support includes file templates,
+important nodes in projects view, running module(s) in the IDE or Platform.
+
+Sample real life application
+
+ Check the {{{http://netbeans.dzone.com/videos/screencast-maven-and-netbeans}Screencast: Maven and the NetBeans Platform}}
+video recorded by Fabrizio Giudici. It describes to Fabrizio's open source project {{{http://kenai.com/projects/forceten}ForceTen}} which can be used as reference setup for Maven NetBeans Platform based apps.

+HOW TO: Migrate from older version of the plugin
+
+
+  {{{Upgrading_to_3.9} Upgrading to 3.9}}
+
+  {{{Upgrading_to_3.8} Upgrading to 3.8}}
+
+  {{{Upgrading_from_2.6_version_to_3.0} Upgrading from 2.6 to 3.0}}
+
+  {{{Upgrading_from_2.4_version_to_2.5} Upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5}}
+
+{Upgrading to 3.9}
+
+ In 3.9, the <<<populate-repository>>> goal is moved to separate plugin.
+
+{Upgrading to 3.8}
+
+ In 3.8 the <<<descriptor>>> parameter is deprecated and is replaced by equivalent plugin parameters. 
+The values from descriptor are still applied, warnings are printed. In future releases the parameter will be removed.
+
+{Upgrading from 2.6 version to 3.0}
+
+ There are a few significant incompatible changes introduced in <<3.0's>> version of
+NBM packaging lifecycle. The result should be easier to setup builds and better support for building
+NetBeans platform based applications.
+
+   * The lifecycle mappings have changed. There is no more <<<nbm:jar>>> goal and
+it was replaced by <<<nbm:manifest>>> which is executed at different phase, namely <<<process-classes>>>, right after
+the module's classes are compiled.
+
+ <<Important>>: In order to have maven-jar-plugin to pick up the generated manifest, you need to add the following
+configuration snippet to your projects with <<<nbm>>> packaging.
+
++-----+
+    <plugin>
+        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
+        <version>3.0.2</version>
+        <configuration>
+            <archive>
+                <manifestFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
+            </archive>
+        </configuration>
+    </plugin>
++-----+
+
+   * The project's dependencies that shall end up on <<Class-Path>> of the module and
+now processed transitively. In earlier versions, you had to either explicitly list
+all such items in the pom as direct dependencies, or list them in the module descriptor.
+Only transitive dependencies that descend from non-NetBeans module direct dependencies are
+included, eg. if you depend on module that includes Apache's commons-httpclient, the library will not
+be included (unless defined in your project directly). Possible trouble makers are transitive depedencies that are
+defined both in a dependening module and a regular jar dependency. Based on Maven dependency tree resolution,
+the binary could end up on the <<Class-Path>> or not. The resolution to the problem is to define
+The troubled dependency directly and either define the scope as <<<provided>>> if you don't want it included in <<Class-Path>>,
+or keep the default <<<compile>>> scope if you want.
+
+   * NBM file is always generated for any NetBeans module project. You can skip the NBM file
+generation by setting the parameter to nbm:nbm goal, but please be aware that having NBM files in local and
+remote repositories is crucial for the new tools that create a NetBeans Platform based application
+binaries.
+
+   * In previous versions the ultimate final binary for the platform based application,
+ was a directory with the cluster(s) of modules. Now a new packaging is defined <<<nbm-application>>> that
+allows for creating a final application zip file, webstartable jnlp files, and an update site.
+All are constructed solely from the repository content (assuming all relevant modules have NBM files in repositories)
+and the primary project for the binaries is the <<<nbm-application>>> packaging project, unlike in previous versions
+where the root pom was the primary project and required all included modules to be built as part of the reactor
+in the same build.
+
+   * The <<<nbm:manifest>>> goal besides generating the manifest, will also check if the runtime dependencies
+match the actual classes being used in the project and it's libraries on <<Class-Path>>. That's analogous to
+the {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html}<<<dependency:analyze>>>}}
+goal but takes the NetBeans module system constraints into account (non-transitivity of module dependencies,
+public vs. private packages constraint etc)
+
+   * The previous versions didn't define the <<<OpenIDE-Module-Public-Packages>>> entry in the manifest file.
+The result was a deprecated state that made all classes publicly accessible from other modules
+and printed a warning to the application's log file. In <<3.0>>, we introduced a new optional parameter <<<publicPackages>>>
+that lists all public packages in the module. If not defined, no package is exported as public. See
+{{{https://github.com/mojohaus/nbm-maven-plugin/issues/3}issue}} for details. If you have previously
+placed the <<OpenIDE-Module-Public-Packages>> entry in the manifest file manually, it will not be overriden by the new parameter.
+
+=======================================================================
+
+{Upgrading from 2.4 version to 2.5}
+
+ There are  significant changes in how NetBeans module system dependencies are mapped to maven's own 
+dependencies model. The <<2.4>> and older version all module system deps had to be explicitly defined in the module descriptor at <<<src/main/nbm/module.xml>>>.
+That is no longer a requirement in <<2.5>> for most cases. The plugin will try to decide based on the declaration
+in maven POM file. 
+ 
+ These are the rules:
+
+    * for NetBeans module dependencies (jars that have the NetBeans specific entries in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF)
+
+        * It's defined in existing (though optional) <<<module.xml>>> file in <<<dependencies>>> section.
+
+        * It's a direct dependency (non-transitive) and is a NetBeans module.
+
+        * When the dependency is of type <<<nbm>>>. Such dependencies don't include their transitive deps on compilation classpath.
+
+    * for module libraries (jars that are packed together with the module and appear on it's classpath directly, not by a dependency relationship.)
+
+        * It's defined in existing (though optional) <<<module.xml>>> file in <<<libraries>>> section
+
+        * It's a direct dependency (non-transitive) and is not of <<<provided>>> scope.
+
+ So if you have used <<2.4>> and older before, you need to check your dependencies when upgrading to <<2.5>>.
+
+    * The <<2.5>> plugin can pick up and declare more module dependencies than the previous version. Module dependencies are safe. 
+You either declared them in your <<<module.xml>>> file. Some additional ones can appear if you have them as direct dependencies in your pom.
+Use the {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html}<<<dependency:analyze>>>}} goal to check for used/unused direct dependencies.
+
+    * The <<2.5>> plugin can also pick up and declare more module libraries. That's something to watch out for! That happens again only when you declared the jars as direct dependencies.
+You could end up with a single jar being added to multiple modules and get runtime classpath issues and of course your download size 
+will get higher than necessary. Again the {{{http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html}<<<dependency:analyze>>>}} goal shall help. If you know the jar is required but is provided by a module you depend on, use the <<<provided>>> scope to prevent inclusion.
