That's correct! But it was so convenient to use the update center ;-)

Update center that can download anything RELEASE260 versioning from 
org.netbeans namespace would be a good solution. Not sure where to put the 
update.xml.gz file? Somewhere on Maven as well - a .gz file can be one of the 
artifacts, I think.

Or it could be done without XML. update.xml is just one of possible 
implementations of some

 interface.
