Make DMG for the Mac NetBeans 9 Incubating Release

Prerequisites

  1. dmgbuild must be available on the system. One way to get it is to use
pip install dmgbuild

which will install it in /usr/local/bin/dmgbuild

  1. /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 9.app which can be made by using the netbeans-macos-bundle tool by Carl Mosca.

Usage

Run the command

dmgbuild -s settings.py nb9vol nb9dist.dmg

to make a nb9dist.dmg. When this dmg is opened, it will present a familar DMG GUI where there will be the NetBeans 9.app that can be drag-n-drop'ed onto a shortcut for the /Applications folder.

Future work

  1. Combine the two scripts
  2. Fix things so install will be into /Applications/NetBeans directory

Note

Depends on MacOS program hdiutil.
