From the Apache point of view, one option is to use the existing mirror infrastructure described at https://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors

But that might depend on the envisioned amount of traffic, do you know how much bandwidth these updates represent?

If infra agrees based on the bandwidth requirements, I suggest putting binaries in a separate dist folder like httpd does with http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/ to avoid confusing them with releases.

The https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua script provides a list of suggested mirrors with a preferred one, I don't know if it can provide that in machine form so far (which I assume you'll need to download updates from the IDE).

As [~humbedooh] is a NetBeans mentor he might have more comments on this.

> We should move the IDE update center over to Apache infra.
> Right now we are using http://updates.netbeans.org/ (/netbeans/updates/8.2/uc/final ) on Oracle infra.
> Since it's just files with no real backend any HTTP server / mirror would do.
> If this is too much work we might just have no update center for the 1st builds.
