How to work and build individual modules?

[moacirrf]

Hi I'm working on possible improvement of module Markdown Support, based on what i'm doing on plugin
https://github.com/moacirrf/netbeans-markdown

I can't compile the module, there is a way to compile a single module without build Netbeans entirely?

Thanks

1. build netbeans once via command line (https://github.com/apache/netbeans#building-netbeans)
2. incremental updates should work fine if you open the modules you are interested in and re-build them via NB
3. they work like regular projects, you can run/test/debug them. Run will start a dev version of NB.

if you pull from master often or switch branches you will have to do a full clean rebuild periodically.

Sorry for late response.
Thanks i will try that now.
