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.

Greetings

Matthias
