Re: Updating the base NetBeans Platform for my application

Generally this should be possible.
However, if I recall correctly only the Maven builds contain autoupdate 
information for platform modules.
I'm not sure about an easy way to achieve this with Ant builds.
I once tried updating a platform app that was build by Ant with 
autoupdate information build by Maven, but I could not get all the 
dependencies set up correctly.
Thus my application did not restart after the update.
Definitely test this locally beforehand.
