| <h1>The NetBeans Sources</h1> |
| <br> |
| <p>The NetBeans source code is available under the |
| <a href="../../cddl-gplv2.html">Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.0 and the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2</a>. |
| The source code is available in a Mercurial repository. All |
| development of NetBeans happens using the Mercurial server on this site, |
| and development proposals and decisions happen on the |
| <a href="../lists/index.html">public mailing lists</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p>You can get to the sources in several ways. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Through Mercurial - see the <a href="hg.html">Mercurial Overview page</a> for |
| details;</li> |
| <li>Download an archived snapshot (ZIP) from the <a |
| href="../../downloads/index.html">downloads page</a>;</li> |
| <li><a href="http://hg.netbeans.org/main/file/">Browse them online</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>If you are interested in making a build from the sources, see the |
| <a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/WorkingWithNetBeansSources">Working with the NetBeans Sources</a> pages.</p> |
| |
| <p>For legacy products and historical reasons, you can also |
| <a href="https://netbeans.org/download/source_browse.html">browse the old CVS repository</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2>So what exactly is here?</h2> |
| |
| <p>What is available here is the entire source tree and history of |
| the NetBeans IDE. Generally, there is a "stable" branch and a |
| "development branch." The development |
| branch is where ongoing development happens - it will be more or less |
| stable depending on what point |
| in the release cycle it is.</p> |
| |
| <p>For a a description of the physical organization |
| of the sources in the Mercurial repository, see <a href="structure.html">Mercurial |
| Repositories</a>.</p> |
