Looking in the hg repo at Oracle, this is where the related scripts and so on are found: http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/file/tip/installer These have not yet been included in the donation process, since we have been focusing on clusters (e.g., the 'java' cluster, the 'php' cluster, etc) and this 'installer' folder falls outside the clusters. So, we will work on including the installer folder from the hg repo into the donation that we're currently working on, i.e., the 3rd donation. Apologies for not thinking about this earlier -- i.e., we've had the solution all along and simply not yet included them in the donation. Can those knowledgeable in this area take a look at the above folder -- it includes everything needed AFAIK for installers for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
