Re: Packaging Netbeans on Gentoo

I would recommend to switch to the new mailing list because most
activity is over there and you will have more people reading your
emails.

It seems to me you are in for a struggle by basically re-doing the
build system yourself instead of using whatever NetBeans is doing.
Still, it is something doable.

I also twisted in many ways the build system at a previous job so I
recommend you to keep at it. If you get no replies feel free to CC me
directly, I might have some ideas to share.
