I'm not 100% sure yet... still working through the downloader code. For each version of Glassfish supported, there is an enum in /enterprise/glassfish.common/src/org/netbeans/modules/glassfish/common/ServerDetails.java that contains among other things two URLS:
1) Link to the Glassfish .zip file hosted on download.java.net 2) Link to one of these .txt files hosted on serverplugins.netbeans.org E.g. for Glassfish 4.1.1: " http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.1.1/release/glassfish-4.1.1.zip?nbretriever=fallback";, // NOI18N "http://serverplugins.netbeans.org/glassfishv3/post71v4-1-1.txt"; // NOI18N The download.java.net links still seem to be valid, but the serverplugins.netbeans.org links aren't. It's still a bit of a hunch at the moment, and you are right, we need to figure out how those txt files were used, but given that the downloader no longer works in NB8.2 too, I'm thinking it could well be an external dependency that is broken? I'm hoping somebody more experienced than I has an idea what those txt files were for?
