Thanks for the great work. :-) Ideally, we wouldn't need to host any special file anywhere, if that can be done, that would be best.
Alternatively, we have this location in Oregon: http://netbeans.osuosl.org/binaries See more about the above here: https://jaxenter.com/netbeans/towards-building-netbeans-new-home Any references to java.download.net or download.oracle.com should ideally be replaced with the above.
