Cool thought experiments. It would be interesting to explore -- although I wonder how much real performance gains there'd be with the first approach, i.e., one of the best features of NetBeans is its modularity, if we were to explore dropping that, or creating some kind of distribution without that, would we gain anything -- and if that would be performance, would that be significant enough to warrant all the work involved? The second approach is basically what we have right now in Apache NetBeans Git, i.e., the 9.0-vc3 tag can be cloned by anyone and then built from scratch.
