Personal question to Jaroslav Tulach about NBP 9

Hi Jaroslav,
When I asked questions here previously about an example of an app built on
top of Platform 9.0 Gj pointed me to the visualvm repo.

There's this commit
<https://github.com/oracle/visualvm/commit/84809a9963daa6b9584cd182ffb2410d14433126>
by you in which you added visualvm/nb90_visualvm_12022018.zip
<https://github.com/oracle/visualvm/commit/84809a9963daa6b9584cd182ffb2410d14433126#diff-9f699f32e015632d06db650b6bdd5655>
which looks to be a newer platform. Netbeans Platform Manager even
recognizes it as "Apache NetBeans Platform Dev (Build
20180212-unknown-revn)".

So two questions:

1) How did you compile that zip file with the platform? Can it be done just
from the sources on github?

2) What the current options for starting a new platform app? Is it possible
to build one using just the raw nb modules from github?

Thank you,
Dmitry
