This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Suggestion: Add support for running pre and post build steps, per configuration. If such a tools fails the whole build should fail. For external tools building parts of the projects pre and post build step with custom build tool would be great. I did see the support for custom build tool being run on individual files, and thats great, but not project wide and not-connected to specific file ones.
