Hi, I don't think this is a good idea. If your disc is to small to hold the maven index there is a pretty good chance, that your setup is often broken.
Quite frankly at work I never noticed NetBeans downloading the index, it is lost in the noice of normal operation. We will basicly loose all advantages of maven indexing. My local repository does not hold the latested artifact (rendering the corresponding hint useless) and completion is interesting because I did not yet use the artifact. Else I most probably have the right setup for the setup already at hand. The option to disable is now there. Given that part of the discussion around JDK 11 baseline was to make a faster maven indexer available gives this another bad taste. So from my POV this should not be done.
