external dependencies for ant

[Simon IJskes - QCG <si...@qcg.nl>]

The ant email task will not work with the current trunk, when run with 
JDK10.

The solution would be according to ant-dev to download the JAF yourself.

A quick look at the license [1] and /home/legal [2] shows JAF has a CDDL 
license and this license is allowed for binary distribution by apache.

Does it make sense to work on including it in netbeans?

Something will need to be done  as JAF and others are removed from JDK
starting with Java 11.
http://jdk.java.net/11/release-notes#JDK-8190378

For JDK9-10 you can use 
--add-modules java.activation
Or
--add-modules  java.se.ee

More like 9+ but I cover some of that stuff here
https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/java9-cheat-sheet

I think it is safe to add now, just have to make sure the module in JDK
9 and 10 is not visible. Which usually is included with other modules
like java.se.ee in 9 and 10, but removed in 11.

There are a few modules that need new deps.
netbeans-openide-awt -> JAF
netbeans-editor-settings-lib -> JSR-222 jaxb-api

A bunch need javax.annotation-api, 114 of 302 I have packaged.
