That would be the right modular approach, but ...

...we haven't found that practical. Instead the "RPM unit" is a cluster. If you 
build NetBeans ZIP you can find platform, ide, java, profiler, etc. Those are 
clusters which we wanted to distribute separately.

There are the external/binaries-list files in each module that has external 
dependencies, so that should map 1:1, I assume.
