Sorry did not get this part,
 
It's possible to generate catalog to link to maven central (will need some 
works to be sure to get all info maybe). It's a public repo. Nbm file are the 
same as the one in official release. 

Not sure following are pro/cons, just "idea" based on current status of tools 
(nb-repository-plugin) for the patch case if needed

You cannot do a RELEASE112.1 in the org.netbeans(api,modules,clusters,external) 
without rebuild the whole NetBeans stack because every pom will need the 
RELEASE112.1 version on dependencies nbm being a side artefacts.
It's not possible to overwrite a released artefacts you cannot do a RELEASE112 
again.

Hope It helps,

Best regards
Eric

Credit where credit is due, the bulk of that effort was Eric.  Now thinking 
about it, one reason for the new build system is Maven artefacts.  Which, 
include the NBMs as is as far as I know?  And will need to have the same 
updates that we ship to the IDE.

So, Eric / anyone - could we generate a distribution catalog.xml that uses 
Maven hosted nbms instead of the mirrors?  The catalog itself could remain 
hosted on the VM where it is now.  What pros / cons?

> Let's listen for other ideas as well...

Yes, agreed!  Sorry, wasn't aiming to stop discussion, just pointing out that 
splitting distribution UCs would involve more changes than just adding it in - 
e.g the new build system and the RCP build harness would probably need 
rethinking to support multiple sources.

One other infrastructure problem we have is that the catalog.xml links are 
relative, which means every module downloaded goes through the same redirects.  
Works for odd module updates, but seems to get refused with too many requests - 
try using the above mentioned RCP harness download, or installing an entire 
cluster, and it will probably fail.  One other thing that would be good to 
solve in this discussion - ideally only the catalog itself needs to be done via 
.htaccess.

Best wishes,

Neil
