Hi Kenneth,
I don't think there's any security related problem here. The Apache
Mirror System, for instance, uses "http" frequently. IMHO there's no
need to encrypt files that are publicly available for everyone to see.
Security is on the IDE side: verifying that the downloaded file has not
been modified while on transit, either by using a PGP signature or other
digesting techniques, as the ASF guidelines mandate.
Cheers,
Antonio

The plugins.netbeans.org does not use https by default, nor does it allow
https. An error occurs if you try to change it to https.
The updates.netbeans.org site does allow the use of https, but does not
redirect to https if http is used.
