That's exactly right. (At least until 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-467 is resolved.)

Yes, then it makes sense to always build the platform sources yourself and 
populate your local maven repository using the nb-repository-plugin Maven 
plugin. That's what I do with my own platform application.

Thanks for the link Neil!

I read through the text. Am I right thinking that in this case the Netbeans 
Platform jars are maven dependency of the App, and they are downloaded from a 
maven repo? 
That is -  the Netbeans Platform code itself needs first to be built (using 
"regular" ant build?) and put in maven repo? 
I'm asking because I would like to keep it possible for us to be able to make 
modifications in the Netbeans Platform code too.

Thanks, 
Tanas
