Where do "Third Party Libraries" point to?
Hello,
The URLs for the other update centers are normal URLs that an user can
download and look what the XML contains.
The "Third Party Libraries" update center seems more special as it has
the URL nbresloc:/org/netbeans/modules/updatecenters/resources/3rdparty-catalog.xml
. Clicking it does nothing and obviously it doesn't work outside
NetBeans. Seems very opaque.
We used to have an internal web browser which I *think* might have
been able to open such an URL, being internal, but I don't see how to
open it anymore.

The modules (including the wrapped JARs) are built normally as far as I can
see on my computer. They are however placed into extra cluster which is not
packaged into the final ZIP by default. Changing the modules cluster should
make them regular part of the instalation.

It seems so right now.

You know, just recently I noticed the .external protocol in the module
system and now I see it is being used on the JavaFX modules to
download from Maven Central the GPL JARs which NetBeans can't included
under Apache: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/917/files
So this 3rd party libraries update center is actually a "loopback
interface" pointing to those 3 JavaFX "partial" NBMs which we embed.
How neat.
On my system it seems the IDE blocks on 'Finding Feature' step so I
would prefer to recompile and include these modules entirely. Any
simple way to do this?
Also, Third Party Libraries is basically "JavaFX Libraries" right now, correct?

But any reason this can't be a proper URL?
