<h2>Using the NetBeans Shared JNLP Repository</h2>

<a href="#seealso">See Also</a>
20
By default, the JNLP application generated for a
21
module suite project always contains all the module suite
23
modules as well as all the modules that the module
24
suite project depends on.
25
This may be useful for intranet usage, but it is a
26
bit less practical for wide internet use. When on
27
the internet, it is much better if all the applications
28
built on the NetBeans Platform refer to <i>one</i> repository
29
of NetBeans modules, which means that such modules are
30
shared and do not need to be downloaded more than once.
32
<p>There is such a repository for NetBeans modules.
33
It does not contain all the modules that NetBeans IDE
34
has, such as, for example, the <tt>ant</tt> module, which is not
35
JNLP-ready, but it contains enough to make many JNLP applications
38
<p><b>To use the shared JNLP repository:</b>
41
<li>In the Projects window, expand the Important Files node.
42
<li>Double-click NetBeans Platform Config.
43
<li>Add the <tt>jnlp.platform.codebase</tt> property
44
with, as its value, the URL of the 5.0 JNLP Repository:
46
<pre>jnlp.platform.codebase=http://www.netbeans.org/download/5_0/jnlp</pre>
