Presumably the files in question are hosted on Sun sites, so there is no redistribution until the actual download in the ant task. That is not a facility we have. NB, one defect in the netbeans process is that it requests permissions again even on a point update of an existing binary. Really it should only ask if the license has changed. -steve
