3. Binaries -- all kinds of code is found inside binaries, e.g., launchers and installers, which we'd need to review before donating them to Apache, though donating them wouldn't make sense since Apache doesn't distribute binaries. We'll need to exclude binaries from the donation and make them available in some other way, i.e., via an organization supporting Apache NetBeans, some would need to be downloaded for building NetBeans and others during installation of NetBeans. With the sources for the binaries, they can be built and placed into Maven zip archives which can be extracted during the builds. I have archives such as this for things at work such as wrappers for the Chrome Web Driver for locally running functional web app tests. Open Table does this for embedded postgresql too. Wade
