| <h1>NetBeans Sources - Mercurial Overview</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| <A HREF="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/">Mercurial</a> is the tool you use to access the NetBeans sources here on netbeans.org, either from |
| the command line, or even using the Mercurial support built into the IDE itself! |
| Before you start you should know how the sources are organized, both in terms |
| of directory <A HREF="../../community/sources/structure.html">structure</a>. |
| You can |
| <A HREF="http://hg.netbeans.org/">browse the Mercurial repositories</A> online |
| to get an overview of available repositories. |
| For more general information, read the book <a href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">Distributed revision control with Mercurial</a>. |

| All those components are either open source software or redistributable |
| binary libraries. They are included in the builds, source code |
| downloads and the Mercurial repository. Their licenses can be found in the |

| <h2>Getting the Sources</h2> |
| |
| <p>These guides show you how to get anonymous access to the NetBeans.org Mercurial repository. |
| If you do not have Mercurial installed, first |
| <A HREF="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BinaryPackages">download</A> |
| and install one of the available ports for your operating system. |
| <P> |
| <UL> |
| <LI><B>Using NetBeans</B> <I>(Recommended)</I> — You can use the NetBeans IDE |
| itself to get the sources. This method is the same for every operating system. |
| Mercurial support is available on the Update Center for NetBeans 6.0 |
| and standard for NetBeans 6.1+. Read: <a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/HgNetBeansSources">Using |
| Mercurial to work with NetBeans Sources in the IDE</a> |
| <LI> <B>From the command line</B> run the following command to get the repository. |
| <PRE class='examplecode'>$ hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main</PRE> |
| </UL> |
| |
| <h2>Authenticated Push Access</h2> |
| <p> |
| Using the anonymous login, you can clone, edit and use the sources on your computer. |
| To contribute your changes to the NetBeans repository |
| without submitting patches and relying on other people to commit them, |
| you'll need a free named account with push (write) privileges. |
| The only difference from the anonymous access is |
| that you enter your username and a non-blank password. |
| If you think you should have a push account, |
| please see <A HREF="../contribute/hg.html">Getting Mercurial Push Access</A>. |
