JaroslavTulach commented on issue #1143: [NETBEANS-1995] Exclude extra cluster 
when generating LICENSE file

   The `extra` cluster has traditionally been a place where additional modules 
(for example from original [contrib](http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib) 
repository) end up.
   
   The purpose of the `extra` cluster is to support local development without 
influencing packaging of the distributions. One can build any module, and that 
module is available when one does `ant tryme`. However no such additional 
module influences content of ZIP produced by `ant build`.
   
   > A bit more background information would be good though
   
   The `extra` cluster is also a place where NBM files downloaded into 
installation location end up (unless they specify cluster by themselves). I 
suggested @eppleton to use the `extra` cluster _trashbin_ for #917. Unless I am 
mistaken the overall idea is [described in this 
comment](https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/917#issuecomment-439595927).
