Hi, Thanks for thoughts.

I'm fairly sure the JSON file is accurate for the old builds too thanks to Eric - https://github.com/apache/netbeans-jenkins-lib/blob/master/meta/netbeansrelease.json I switched plugins to https and via NAO in 11.1. As soon as we decide to stop supporting 11.0 we're in a better position, although that links direct to old plugin portal anyway. > What about this? > > https://NAO/nb/updates/dev -302-> https://PNAO/dev/updates > https://NAO/nb/plugins/dev -302-> https://PNAO/dev/plugins > https://NAO/nb/updates -302-> https://PNAO/12.0/updates > https://NAO/nb/plugins -302-> https://PNAO/12.0/plugins We already redirect updates via the NetBeans VM - there's probably no point in hitting the plugin centre for it - the NBMs are actually downloaded from Apache mirrors for all releases. But the catalog XML file itself must be on the VM. Also, the point would be to have updates/12.0, updates/dev, etc. on the other end so we can blanket redirect nb/plugins/* and nb/updates/* We only need two redirects then. > Of course this will require hosting the binaries in PNAO (which may be > somewhat slow, but faster than hosting them in the Jenkins builds). Release update NBMs are already served by the Apache mirrors. The key thing served from Jenkins for dev (as is already the case with all the 12.0 betas) would be the catalog XML for update checking. Unless a spec version in that is updated, no NBM will be downloaded. It will be a seldom used testing thing for developers, if it's useful at all?! And we could just keep the dev UC pointing at the last release 12.0 as we have done. It's just better if we can handle this on the other end with the others, rather than treat dev differently IMO.
