Hi, we could also see if
https://github.com/pack200/pack200 is a viable alternative. The ASF still rejects GPLv2-CPE (I wait for the day Swing gets separated from the JDK...), but we could package it outside the Apache Netbeans Project as a module and distribute it via the plugin portal. I have not looked into how we could inject the classes into the updatecenter module, but it might be doable.
