Once you're all set just enter the `netbeans` directory and type:
-- `ant` to build the Apache NetBeans IDE on JDK 8, on JDK 11 also type -Dpermit.jdk9.builds=true with the `ant` command.
- ** Once built, the IDE bits are placed in the `./nbbuild/netbeans` directory. You can run the IDE from within the `netbeans` directory by typing `./nbbuild/netbeans/bin/netbeans` on unixes (for Windows the command is equivalent).
-- `ant tryme` to run the Apache NetBeans IDE.
+- `ant build` to build the Apache NetBeans IDE on JDK 8, on JDK 11 also type -Dpermit.jdk9.builds=true with the `ant build` command.
+ ** This will build a binary zip bundle of the IDE at `./nbbuild/NetBeans-<version-hash>-release.zip`. Extract that zip in a place of your choosing and run `netbeans/bin/netbeans` (or `netbeans/bin/netbeans.exe` on Windows).
+- `ant tryme` to run the Apache NetBeans IDE directly from the build folder rather than the zip for development purposes.
