How to build the NetBeans installers?

[Emilian Bold <em...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm working on reproducible builds and I want to see how deterministic the
installers are.

But... I can't seem to manage building the NetBeans installers.

nbbuild/newbuild/build-nbi.sh fails with:

> java.net.UnknownHostException: jre.us.oracle.com

build-mac-nbi.sh (after I've tweaked it to add a $BUILD_NBJDK8 parameter)
fails with:

>
http://jre.us.oracle.com/java/re/glassfish/4.1.1/promoted/latest/archive/release
doesn't exist

Signing is the last step of the installers build scripts and I see the
scripts explicitly allow an empty SIGNING_PASSWORD which
sets SIGNING_IDENTITY=0 and they also have the DONT_SIGN_INSTALLER flag.

So I should be able to build unsigned installers (or even sign them with my
own keys).

I expect that under Apache also we will have (un)signed installers.

Hi,

I'm afraid you can not currently build installers yourself, because they 
have to be signed and keys are available only for dedicated engineers.

Could we work on this so it's possible to build them externally? At
least for macOS I don't need any JRE to embed.

The scripts also assume a remote macOS build slave, while I have a
macOS machine running the script, it could build locally the dmg.

It is/was being built behind firewall thus references to internal machines.
There is also Mac machine involved in installers building.
