Cannot build from source

Autopsy Development
1

I am trying to build autopsy from source using netbeans but the compiler cannot download the file https://netbeans-vm.apache.org/uc/${netbeans-plat-version}/tasks.jar. I have tried to visit the page directly to see if it up using the netbeans-plat-version 11.3 but it doesn’t seem to exist.

Is there another location of where to download this file and others such as the updates.xml.gz etc and I can edit the .properties file.

I think netbeans have renamed their servers and that URL is broken. It should be netbeans-vm1.apache.org. I used the following sed command in the autopsy directory to ‘fix-up’ the build process

sed -i s/‘netbeans-vm.apache’/‘netbeans-vm1.apache’/ ./nbproject/platform.properties

That worked. Cheers for that
