Here is the plan to get rid of downloading binaries from hg.netbeans.org/binaries:
Let's download them from central Maven repository! The support is already in the build harness and for example this module is already downloading the JAR from a Maven repo: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/o.n.html.ko4j/external/binaries-list We just need to go through all the binaries-list files and replace the current JAR references with the Maven syntax: MD5Hash groupId:artifactId:version That's the plan.
