Hi, you can build sources in the NetBeans IDE, of course (you need to set up few properties - see below - and then you can open "nbbuild" project located in the "main" directory).

But easier approach is following:

1. Build NB sources from the command line using ANT
2. Open the module you want to modify in NB and you modify only the module - then you can invoke Build/Run/... actions and whole IDE runs with the changes you made

Also, please follow this blog post to set proper properties for the build first:
