dev model question

Hi All
Every time I change some code in the module, I have to "ant build" in the root folder, then "ant tryme". It takes over 3 mins which is too long waiting. If I just" ant build" in the module folder", it won't take effect. Then what is the fastest way to debug the module?
thanks
Peter

Hi, working on the NetBeans codebase works well with the NetBeans IDE itself. My general approach is:

• checkout the base you want to work on git checkout ...
• clean the directory tree git clean -f -x -d
• build once the full tree ant
• open the modules you want to work on in the IDE
• you can now run the (potentially modified) module using the context menu of the project via "Run" or "Debug"
