Creating NBM from Maven module suite

[Pavel S.]

Hi,

I have developed several NB modules recently and I want to pack all of them together into single NBM file, so they can be installed by one click. I have noticed there is Module Suite option in NetBeans, I guess it should be designed right for this purpose. However, I was not able to solve how to create NBM file from the modules. All my modules (including the module suite) are managed by maven.

Thanks for any advices or hints.

afaik a nbm only wraps a single module. never heard that it was
possible to create a nbm for multiple ones, even though the nbm file
is basically just a zip file (with some metadata)

Thanks for the response. So is there any possibility to install several modules "at once"? For example, I can install all PHP functionality by selecting one item in the list, I'd like to have my modules wrapped in exactly same way.

that's just an illusion where a module is selected as "kit" and
visible in the update center, while the other modules it depends on
(shall be all of your modules that actually do anything and you want
to be installed together) are marked as hidden.

Very well, how can I hide the module(s) in the plugin manager? And will they be uninstalled (or disabled) if I uninstall (or disable) the "kit" module?

I am still NBP newbie but if I understand correctly, I think that is little different. All the magic is done using module dependencies.

"Module Kit" is one visibible module and arbitrary number of depending hidden modules. Installing visible module will install all depending modules also. Likewise uninstalling visible module should uninstall depending and now orphan modules.
