Re: Packaging Netbeans on Gentoo

I hope you pull it off. And I'm curious if you build becomes any
faster (meaning -- are Gentoo builds parallel with -j or something?).

I also though about using some newer build system for NetBeans, like
Facebook's Buck (https://buckbuild.com/ ) or Google's Bazel
(https://bazel.build/ ), since they are presumably much faster (and
support backend systems to do remote builds for you, build artifacts
caching, etc).
