Building an NBM File

See Also

An NBM file is a NetBeans module packaged for delivery via the web. The principal differences between NBM files and module JAR files are:

NBM files are just ZIP files with a special extension. They use the JDK's mechanism for signing JAR files. Unless you are doing something unusual, you will not need to worry about the contents of an NBM file—just let the standard Ant build script for NBM creation take care of it for you.

To build an NBM file:

  1. In the Projects window, right-click the node of the module project you want to build.
  2. Choose Create NBM.
