Compile

========

1. Launch NetBeans
2. Open the following projects (Ctrl+click to open several at once)
   * qz-print/jssc_xx * qz-print/pdf_xx * qz-print/qz-print
   Note: If warned about missing platform, please repeat NetBeans step 3
   
3. Enable the Output Window: Window, Output
4. Compile using self-signed certificate: (Default) 1. In Project Explorer, click jssc
   
   2. Click "Clean and Build" icon
   
   Note: For each successful build, you should see a success message:
   

1. In Project Explorer, Click **pdf**, click "Clean and Build" icon
1. In Project Explorer, Click **qz-print**, click "Clean and Build" icon

1. Compile using trusted-root certificate: (Advanced) 1. Purchase a Code Signing certificate from a Trusted CA. 1. Create a Java Keystore using an available online tutorial. 1. Create a folder on the desktop called Code Signing. 1. Place the keystore in the Code Signing folder. 1. Create a text file called private.properties
   Paste the following lines into private.properties:
   #TRUSTED CERTIFICATE compile.on.save=true disable.compile.on.save=false do.depend=false do.jar=true file.reference.javaws.jar=$(user.home}\javaws.jar javac.debug=true javadoc.preview=true jnlp.signing.tsaurl=http://tsa.starfieldtech.com jnlp.signing.alias=<INSERT YOUR KEY ALIAS HERE> jnlp.signing.keystore=${user.home}/Desktop/Code Signing/<INSERT YOUR TRUSTED KEYSTORE>.ks jnlp.signing.keypass=<INSERT YOUR KEYPASS HERE> jnlp.signing.storepass=<INSERT YOUR STOREPASS HERE> user.properties.file=${user.home}\\AppData\\Roaming\\NetBeans\\8.0\\build.properties
   1. Update private.properties to reflect the alias, keystore, keypass, storepass and tsaurl of the Java Keystore file. 1. Build each project again and look for success message:
