## Building an NBM File

See Also

An NBM file is a NetBeans module in binary format, packaged for delivery via the web.

To build an NBM file:

1. In the Projects window, right-click the node of the module project you want to build.
2. Choose Create NBM.

To build all NBM files in a module suite:

1. In the Projects window, right-click the node of the module suite project you want to build.
2. Choose Create NBMs.

- When you choose Create NBMs in a module suite's contextual menu, an autoupdate descriptor is generated by the IDE. The autoupdate descriptor describes all the NBM files. When you put the autoupdate descriptor on a host, your users can access it and retrieve your NBM files via the autoupdate descriptor. For details, see Generating an Autoupdate Descriptor.
