[netbeans] offline installation
For what it's worth, I often have to install netbeans on computers that are
not connected to the internet. In v8.2 and prior, I could download the EE
version and have everything I need to get up and running (except for maven
dependencies and any additional netbeans plugins). Maven dependencies can
be synced using a local nexus server and some swivel chair action and i was
able to find a way to clone the entire netbeans plugin repo for local
installations.
With the newer installs, we're pretty much forced o be online during the
first "activation" of a specific feature. Why can't we just bundle it all
together and have it ready to go in the zip? Alternatively, if there a
single place there all of the online activation stuff downloads the
necessary dependencies from then it's possible that i can just clone that
website/repo. Is this how it works? If so, where is the repo?

You might try CoolBeans ( https://coolbeans.xyz/ ) which bundles
almost everything. Sadly I missed a tiny library so you still need to
download this nbm for HTML5 projects
http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/1540969315_org-netbeans-libs-oracle-jsparser.nbm
I might do another dot release and include that module.

Understood and good discussion. I figured the licensing would be an issue.
When launching netbeans v9+ and downloading all the additional stuff, are
all of the additional downloads stored somewhere in the netbeans folder
(whereever the zip was unzipped to) or are they stored elsewhere, such as
the user profile directory? I'm thinking i can just activate everything,
then zip up the directory and transfer it to where it is needed

nb-javac is not a secret, it was actually part of NetBeans 8.2. You
can find the source code here http://hg.netbeans.org/main/nb-java-x/
CoolBeans (https://coolbeans.xyz ) does compile its own and
redistributes nb-javac as Oracle does allow it. Just as it allows
IntelliJ to distribute their things. It's only Apache that has a
policy of not distributing GPL code.
As you see Apache NetBeans went to some lengths to still provide a
good experience for end users (by allowing run-time install of said
plugin, and adding some reasonably-well working parallel code that
kicks in when nb-javac is not present).

Actually, as I understand 'ti' GPL will never weaken the license to be
circulated with permissive licenses, e.g.
- Apache
- MIT
- BSD
- ...etc.
I don't think this is a big thing. GCC isn't donated to Apache (GPL that
it is, etc.) and there's lots of other things including plugins with other
licenses.

IntelliJ is not distributed by Apache. NetBeans is distributed by Apache.
Apache does not allow distribution of GPL code or binaries. The Java
compiler is GPL licensed.

Oracle already has "donated" it in a way because of the openjdk project.
Nb-javac is just an extension of the javac distributed with added extras to
make ide's able to parse the results of compiling better (that's my take).
Intelij does a similar thing, presumably based on the openjdk code.
The difference being intelij doesn't make you download something extra. So
the question is valid, why is netbeans different to intelij in this respect
and why does it have to be downloaded separately. I personally find it
weird why oracle thinks it wants to keep the extended javac code a secret
when the javac code is visible at the openjdk project.

No, that's the point. It will never be donated to Apache. It belongs to
Oracle. Oracle is never going to donate its Java compiler, or forks

Because, for example, in the case of Java support in Apache NetBeans, the
nb-javac compiler belongs to Oracle and is GPL licensed and hence cannot be
distributed by Apache. You need to install it yourself, i.e., individually
accept the licensing terms.
